New, and deliberate, eyes
Here’s a new favorite quote I found on the lovely blog A Room of One’s Own:
“The real voyage of discovery consists,
not in seeking new landscapes
but in having new eyes.”
~Marcel Proust
That is one of the truest statements I’ve heard in a long time. I’m going to apply it to my upcoming trip, which starts tomorrow. While there are going to be many frustrations, I am going to make a point to deliberately look away from them and keep my eyes open for good things, blessings, and smile-inducing moments. I am getting a new camera (finally), and I hope to come back with it full of inspiring images from L.A.: Beautiful mountains looming over the bustling city, the Hollywood sign that still gives me a thrill every time I see it, stars on the sidewalk, the crowds along Santa Monica beach…and in between all of that, I’m going to look for flowers, birds, sunsets…and whatever else inspires me.
My dear Sara,
Thank you for your mention to my blog.Have a wonderful trip! May you always look with the eyes of a child and experience things to the fullest
