The devil is in the detail

"One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite -- that particular peach is but a detail."
- Pablo Picasso

They say it's about the small things in life, small chances, small habits, focus on details, that make a difference. Now I totally agree with that, but I can't seem to figure out why.
Maybe it is because from a distance everything looks the same, but if you take the effort to discover what makes it so special and so different, you start appreciate it.
I guess this works with people too. Only if you take the effort to get to know them better and to have a closer look, you can find out what makes them so special.

I used to hate spider webs. To me they looked like a pile of dust left by a scary creature. Until I saw this image with my own eyes. This image shows every single line of the web so clearly and shows what a beautiful complex thing this small 'scary' creature can design. It left me with amazement and appreciation.

It's really the detail that counts, and if you open your eyes, you can find it.

Sign of life

"The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart."

I cannot express how I feel looking at this rose. It is a simple flower, yet it triggers such a powerful thing inside of me.
Never underestimate the power of the rose, whether it's given, seen or touched.

Nature: the big and the powerful

When I feel small and sad, when I feel like there is a war going on inside of me, I go outside.
Looking at the sky and nature in overall gives me a feeling of serenity. It makes me realize that we are surrounded by something so big and so powerful, yet so beautiful and we get to enjoy it every day.

Passion

I have always felt this fire inside of me that is never to be put out. It seems like this fire burns brighter the more things are going on in my life. It's like and itch and far too many times I have been wanting to put out the fire because it burnt. Now we all know that fire burns and when it does that, it hurts.
But the trick though is to feed the fire without it hurting you.
It's like a drug, the more you get the more you want... that is what passion is about! At the same time I think passion can only be expressed if one knows who he is, what he wants and is not afraid to show that to the rest of the world!
