I read a Ghandi quote the other day that I like very much, “There is more to life than increasing its speed.” I’ve been taking time to focus on my surroundings for a number of years, but I find retirement has given me the luxury to go into super slow motion at times and really examine my world more closely. Beauty is all around and it’s nice to find it in the small things.
There’s a lot of construction in our neighborhood and I’m always curious about what features are being put in new homes, so I occasionally do a quick tour while on my morning walk. On this day, I was rewarded with a bundle of nails casting a great shadow.
