The other day, I was filling up my washing machine for what was probably load number 1,658,432 of my life. The sun was shining through the window, and as the suds began to develop, I happened to notice the beautiful pink, blue, and purple hues being reflected in the bubbles. They had a pearlescent quality, and for some reason they seemed just so beautiful to me at that moment. I paused my rushing around to continue to watch the pretty bubbles form as the machine filled.
Perhaps you’ve had a similar experience—a moment when you’ve allowed your mind to become fully present and centered not on what has happened or what you intend to do, but on what is happening that very moment, right there in front of you. There’s so much beauty and joy to behold in even the simplest of things if we’re aware enough to take note.
