The Little Picture
Seems lately I get so caught up in the details that I can’t see the big picture. What’s here and now and present and affecting takes so much of my attention that I forget to appreciate the whole scope of things - or I choose not to. Like only hearing individual notes and missing the overall composition or only seeing the brush strokes and missing the subject of the painting.
Seeing the forest instead of the trees would be so easy if only the details weren’t so heartbreakingly beautiful. How can I move on and appreciate the wider scope when the individual parts are so impossibly captivating?

Never lose your wonder of the little things. I believe, with all my heart, that being able to find awe and joy in the little things is what makes the difference between occasionally happy people and truly happy people.
You are one of the happiest people I know. I know you haven’t got the slightest clue what it will all mean eventually. You have always been all about the journey itself.
May your moments of fear be few. Embrace uncertainty as an opportunity for adventure.
