Write anything you want about this quote.

==========

What cannot be seen or felt by the heart are the tiny things that hold the promise or beginnings of wonderful, unimaginable, and sometimes larger things. Case in point, a tiny seed, the acorn from which the noble oak grows or the aliveness of nature in general.

Within the same thought are those beginnings or seeds unseen or felt by us that grant us those things we so cherish like the moon, the sun, the cosmos, our dreams, the sights and sounds of waterfalls or rain, a mother’s smiling welcome of her newborn baby, a lover's kiss, the kind of music that talks and inspires a person, all arts, poetry, books, writing, kind words, helping hands, the company of friends and other people, the flag, the nation, and our global connectedness.

In addition, we can experience and appreciate all those things and then some if we learn to live in the present moment. If we can manage to achieve focusing our attention on the present moment, we may be able to enjoy even the most insignificant, gloomy, or dull tasks and events because in every single thing is a kernel of life.
