In our busy lives, we take things for granted. Mundane details fall through the cracks as we’re too focused on getting through. The day, week, month, year. Time blurs together and gets mixed in memories. It takes gravity shifts to come back down to earth. Losing someone, losing something, reminders of how precious today is. How everything could be gone tomorrow. To soak up the mundane details and spread them out. Being aware of them allows you to appreciate them not just sweep them under the rug. A cozy blanket, birds singing in autumn, sun rays in your eyes, partly blinding you for a time. The fabric that makes up the present will be forgotten but held you for a time in your life while you were too busy rushing out the door. Slow down, you’re alive, you’re too busy fighting time.
