A slow pace and quiet mind allow us to look beyond the literal, to sharpen our focus on the subtle textures, shapes and patterns of the natural world. When we surrender our instinctive reaction to identify the objects before us, to understand the scale and orientation, to discerns the unfolding story we allow ourselves to see something more fundamental. We challenge our own perceptions. We question our understanding of the familiar. We experience again the childlike wonder and curiosity of seeing something for the first time.
