Someone once asked...

Whenever you're not doing anything, take notice of things that you see everyday that are beautiful. I remember once my sister came to visit, and she kept asking about what the beautiful yellow flowers were. I couldn't see any significant flowers she could be referring to. I found out she was asking about the buttercups, little yellow flowers that grow in clusters all over where I live. I was so used to seeing them, they just didn't register in my field of vision. Since then, I started taking note more of things that I see all the time. I find it makes every day special.

I once watched an old monk sweep the same courtyard he'd swept for forty years. I asked if it ever felt pointless. He said, "The courtyard doesn't stay clean. I don't sweep it to finish. I sweep it because right now, it needs sweeping." We keep waiting for meaning to arrive as something large — a calling, a big achievement, a defining year. Most days won't hand you that. But an ordinary day held with attention is not empty; it's just quiet. Meaning often hides less in what you do, and more in how awake you are while doing it.

Pretend to care. Tell yourself that you like the ordinary days. And eventually, you will.
