Familiar Things Quotes - Page 2

• Most of us lead far more meaningful lives than we know. Often finding meaning is not about doing things differently; it is about seeing familiar things in new ways. When we find new eyes, the unsuspected blessing in work we have done for many years may take us completely by surprise. We can see life in many ways: with the eye, with the mind, with the intuition. But perhaps it is only those who speak the language of meaning, who have remembered how to see with the heart, that life is ever deeply known or served.

• There’s beauty all around our paths,
  If but our watchful eyes
  Can trace it ’midst familiar things,
  And through their lowly guise.

  Felicia Hemans

  Beauty, Gratitude, Eye
