When I came across this puddle I was struck by the scatter of pretty petals floating on the surface of the water. But I also noticed the reflection of the sky, clouds and even some branches so I immediately looked up.
The puddle with its reflection and it’s floating petals is beautiful. I can stop and gaze at it and find it completely delightful. In fact, it’s like a work of art.
But reflections in particular draw our attention to the surroundings or the context of whatever we’re looking at. As I look up to see the source of the reflection I see a glorious display of blossom against the sky. My delight is doubled.
There’s great beauty to be discovered every day, and the experience of delight in whatever we encounter can be magnified when we take the time to look broader, wider, further and see the connections and contexts.
