What do we see?

When I look at a red tulip, what do I see? Is it just another flower? When I go beyond just looking I can see the rich colour, how it shines as it catches the light next to my table. I notice the curves and the folds, the stripes of green and how the buds pucker in some places. I can see the colour yellow mingling with the red and creating orange. The green leaves curve and frame the buds and the dark sky outside creates a look of thunder and dense clouds.

The sky lightens a little and the rain stops, only to start again a while later. I don't mind! I have red tulips in a jug, a good book, my crochet and a feeling of delight as I observe and appreciate all these simple things in life.

I hope that your Sunday is going well ... if not, what can be done to change that?  Something as simple as changing our point of view can do wonders!
