Finding Beauty Wherever You Are

I often say that childhood is not a stage of life but a quality of the human experience.  Walking with a gaggle of children on our studio wanderings I am often struck when they notice things adults regularly overlook.



Children see the world like poets, artists and scientists.



They bend to examine dew drops collected on the silky tendrils of a spiders web and marvel over a particularly interesting weed.  They gasp with delight as a crane, working several streets down, arcs its heavy load above tall buildings.  My years of working alongside them has cultivated an inward capacity to wonder.  I have benefited from their eyes and hearts more than words can say.



This little video clip is a reminder for all of us to linger in the ordinary beauty, wherever we are.
