I wish I could write down all of the things that intrigued me today. They're all things that I normally wouldn't look twice at, most people wouldn't. For some reason, my senses were a little bit clearer today.
At Costco, I noticed that the giant teddy bears all had smiles. This one is kind of a no brainer but it warmed my heart to think that the plush toy was not only giving happiness but also receiving it.
When I was at the library, I actually breathed in the musky smell of the older cloth-bound books. That may be gross for some people but I couldn't help bu think of the people who had given the books so much character. I even picked up a book about Tsar Nicholas. The feel, the look, the smell (no I didn't taste it) all made the book so much more appealing. Imagine the people who have picked the book up before I did. The curiousity or the neccessity of picking up that book may have altered their complete perception or conversely caused them to sleep for three hours only to wake up panic-striken and angry. Books simply fascinate me. It almost made me regret buying my barnes and noble nook. Books are going to become the next scrolls, scrolls will become the heiroglyphs, and heiroglyphs will become fossils. At least I am able to experience the inspiration of picking up Pride and Prejudice.
We take too much for granted. Time to appreiciate everything.
