The Wonder Of Everyday Life

Posted by Sean on November 15, 2009

Life still amazes me. We all forget to stop and ‘smell the roses’ sometimes. During the busy-ness of our day we often are unaware of the wonderment and pure breathlessness of what is happening.

Take for instance … a droplet of water.

Did you know drops of water bounce? Yes. I said bounce. Water can bounce.

I don’t know about you.. but I’ll never look at a drop of water the same.

What other wonders are we missing…

I wonder?

  7. That is such a great video…I also didn't know that water can bounce. This just goes to show that even if we thought that we know something, we should always take a closer look for something new to discover. Who says that life is boring? while you have new discoveries every day!

  8. Hi Sean – Loved the video. And yes, I absolutely agree. It's when you stop and look closely at things that you notice unexpected wonders. I was in the park last weekend for an outdoor yoga class and as I stretched down low I stared at the grass beneath my feet, not really looking, focusing on the stretch. And then I slowly realized that I was staring at a tiny spiderweb, no larger than the size of plum, perfectly spun and nearly invisible, nestled between the blades of grass. Even as I watched a tiny, tiny spider ran out, corrected a strand of webbing, and then disappeared back under the grass.Makes you wonder how much you're missing if you don't stop occasionally and look.
