But let's stick to "the dets" for now.
I feel that today we are just grasping for "big picture" views of life. We don't have time or energy for details. The big picture is often more available and on the surface. But details require engagement and thought. How dull, right?
I thought so. The truth is, though, that details are what give life its seasoning. Details sneakily turn leaves from green to gold. Details stop you in your tracks as you're leaving the grocery store and make you turn around to pick out a treat for your friend. Whom you miss. A lot. Details are when you pass someone you don't want to see but you offer them a smile anyway at the risk of looking stupid.
Details bring forth change, consideration, and boldness.
Because, without details, the forest still looks the same. The weekly grocery store visit is a mundane task. And passing THAT person is just another part of the day you don't want to face.
Details make all the difference.
Yours Truly,
June.
