I think we've been cultured to see beauty only in the large scale - and it is there, like the colours of a Zhang Yimou film. But there's beauty in simple things that we miss, in the every day, in the common. Like the efforts so many of us put into writing and sharing online, in telling our stories, even when our stories are just the everyday of the grocery store, the walk to work, or the single flower finally popping its spring-time out of the muddy greys of winter. Maybe that's a little too obvious a thing, but even winter, a time so many of us don't spend much thought on the beauties of because we're waiting anxiously for it to be over, has its beauties. My favourite is a nighttime walk after a deep snowfall, when the snow is still fresh and the world is silent, muffled, and soft.
