Many of us have made our world so familiar that we do not see it anymore. An interesting question to ask yourself at night is, What did I really see this day?
In John O'Donohue's book, "Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom," he highlights how the familiar aspects of our lives often go unnoticed. Over time, our environments and daily routines can become so habitual that we fail to truly observe them. This realization can lead us to a deeper understanding of our surroundings and ourselves.
He suggests reflecting on our experiences each day to uncover the moments we usually overlook. Asking ourselves what we genuinely witnessed can prompt a greater appreciation for the beauty and details of life, encouraging a more mindful existence and connection to the world around us.
