Sometimes the simplest observations carry the most weight. The sound of the rain outside makes for good thinking weather. A conversation with a friend brought this to mind. The changing seasons always make me contemplative. It’s remarkable how much you notice when you slow down. I decided to write this down before the feeling passed. A walk in the park today gave me some unexpected clarity. I find that writing helps me organize scattered thoughts. I’ve started paying more attention to everyday moments. There’s beauty in the mundane if you look closely enough. I’m not sure where this train of thought will lead. I was surprised to discover how much I had to say about this.
