William Morris, a British designer and artist once said, “The true secret to happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.” These words are a reminder that life itself truly occurs in the small details that we tend to leave unnoticed.
There is a deep form of peace that we can find in things like the lotus flowers that dance over tea-coloured waters, or in the way that clouds settle over our city like curling white cats. Perhaps if we were to take off our headphones or leave our windows open once in a while, we might smell petrichor and morning dew, or we might hear the quiet chirping of the tiny birds and frogs that live right beside us.
