Day 6 - Complex Simplicity

I remember as a child, I would sit on the driveway and patiently watch ants scurry to and fro, trying desperately to rebuild their home after the onslaught of my curious fingers. I was amazed; completely and thoroughly entranced in the complex simplicity of their task. I relished these moments as a child, I found it oddly beautiful.

When I happened across this snail, it triggered in me that same feeling those ants evoked. It reminded me that beauty surrounds us if we can embrace the simplicity of life. It reminded me of the importance of slowing down and appreciating life on all levels. It's so easy to get swept away in the tide that is life, it is too easy to miss those true moments of beauty. One thing I have learned quickly is that my "365 day challenge" has turned into a "quest of inner reflection." Only 359 days left... so far so good!
