Do you see the beauty? It’s part of what makes life worth living , but often I miss it. When I lived in Baltimore, and was depressed, I would walk down the street surrounded by these gorgeous old buildings, architectural and hist
orical marvels, and my head would be down, scanning the sidewalk to make sure that I did not step in the dog poop. Surely that practice fed the depression.
Now, without depression, I don’t walk with my head down, and I see the things around me – I may notice that they’re far away, or round, or large, or whatever, but often I don’t notice that they are beautiful. So I work on reminding myself to notice, and I am surrounded by beauty – I just have to notice it, deliberately. It’s worth the effort. Hopefully it will become a habit and automatic.

almost everything is beautiful if you just look at it and recognize it.
and everybody.
especially you
but if we have ADD or ADHD we tend to miss it
