A wise heart feeds on small details, which are made of genuine attention, love and devotion, these details are worth more than money and demand nothing in return, because we have to admit that it is amazing how the simplest details have the power to completely change one day that was turning gray. A hug, a smile, a “hello”, a “take care”, transform our day.
Anyone who admires Impressionism certainly knows Monet’s famous work “Printing, Rising Sun”. This painting, which gave its name to the revolutionary artistic movement in 1874, draws attention for its free, fast and even messy brushstrokes. It doesn’t make sense, everything seems confusing and even chaotic; however, the magical sensation of the play appears when the viewer walks away from the play.
“My formula is: dream, diversify and never miss the details. “Walt Disney.
Every brushstroke, every detail of this magnificent painting takes on importance until it forms an almost moving atmosphere, a sunrise where the sun seems to burst into the calm waters of the sea. Each brushstroke provides light, moisture, contrast, vaporization, boats at the bottom and the clarity of the surface of the sky are mixed with the serenity of the water.
There are hundreds of precise details, delicately studied, that bring a work to life. Something very similar happens in our day to day: those little touches that others give us?, words, preferences, special moments. Together, these small details that come out of the heart also shape the light that nourishes and guides us, it is our vital canvas on which we build a true and meaningful reality.
Magic exists. You don’t need to pick it up on a high-end mobile phone, in the series that will premiere on Netflix or in the pleasure of saving enough money to buy a new car, travel or buy a computer of this famous brand. it’s not necessarily in these places. True beauty is hidden in the details of everyday life, often surprising.
Beauty is hidden in these details that can only be seen through the observation and receptivity of those who see life through emotions and are attentive to the present.
For example, a cobweb at dawn ceases to be dark to decorate with small drops of dew and become a fascinating natural spectacle. A child who listens admiringly to his father tell a story or two people who are on the subway for the first time. and smiling when you realize that you’re both reading the same book, are other examples of those everyday details that we sometimes witness. It is the nuances of our reality that inspire us and remain in memory.
To be receptive to all these details of everyday life, we must be fully connected to the present moment. We spoke at the beginning of Claude Monet. This painter, like many others, certainly spent hours admiring nature: fields of flowers at sunset, sunset, water lilies in a pond?
This connection to what happens around us is something that we certainly miss, we live in a society rich in stimuli, where little is observed and shared, where detail loses its importance because what counts is impact, fast news and clickbait.
On the other hand, and as an interesting detail, we can say that the thalamus is the structure that allows us to apply an adequate filter of attention when we observe something, it is an area of the brain associated with consciousness.
Therefore, we can say that a good way to broaden our consciousness has to do with the manifestation of a receptive attitude; expand this wise and curious look, which guided by emotions is able to appreciate the beauties that we can observe in nature and in our social world through interactions.
Scientists at the University of Rochester conducted a study a few years ago that was published in the journal Current Biology, which found that retail people are smarter. His natural method of observation focuses on small aspects of reality that not everyone notices, nuances. that not everyone perceives. On the other hand, we can say that very sensitive people (SSPs) also have this ability.
“We think in general, but we live in detail. ” Alfred North Whitehead?
Given all this, we can conclude that people who appreciate details are also those who know how to take care of and please others, they are people who do us good, make us happy and are always willing to learn and teach. to deal with these small aspects that make up the fabric that gives meaning to relationships, where there is respect, recognition and appreciation for this bond, stronger and happier bonds are built, there is love in the little details and these little things are related How comforting when someone takes us by the hand and says “will you be?”
Knowing how to present happy moments and not interchangeable objects is an art, with them we turn on the light at the right time, choosing the right color at the right time, should we all invest time and effort in this task to build more authentic?Relations?
