Look around

Dandelion curls, outside my apartment

All to often I am constantly moving . . .

Going here, there, everywhere.

Never paying attention to what is around me.  

The world keeps on moving as fast as I do.

But every once in a great while the universe taps me on the shoulder,

and kindly asks me to slow down.  

My camera always helps me in this department

It forces me to focus on what is around me

It helps me to notice things I never knew existed before

. . . like the little curls on top of the dandelion.  

What do you notice when you slow down and really look around?
