Magical thought n° 138

What if this week, we decided to rediscover the world with eyes of wonder 🤩 ❓

A bit like children.

In our fast-paced lives—too fast-paced—we often miss out on life's simple beauties 🙄.

"The marvelous is hidden in the simple, the banal, the innocuous. If we know how to see, and above all, to look, we can discover magic in everything, even in the smallest corners of our environment. Magic is everywhere, as long as we pay attention: the dew on a leaf at sunrise, the reflection of rain on a road, the warmth of a ray of sunshine, the scent of coffee, children's laughter, a light breeze rustling the curtains, the complicity of an elderly couple holding hands, the light of a flickering candle, or that bird in the tree that only you will see."*

Wonder is the fresh perspective we take on the world, the spark ✨ that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary 🪄.

And what if this were true magic ❓

Magic isn't always spectacular. It's not just about stories or illusions. It lives in those subtle moments when life surprises us... let yourself be surprised 😌.

When we choose to be amazed, we open the door 🚪 to this everyday magic. Wisdom is born from this encounter: seeing what is there as if for the first time and letting the magic nourish our minds and hearts 🤗.

This wisdom doesn't begin with great certainties, but with curiosity, with the ability to be surprised and to question.

So, this week, I invite you to slow down for a moment 😌. Breathe, look around you, and let yourself be surprised 😲.

You'll see: wonder isn't elsewhere, it's already here.

Let it open a new door in your daily life and poke your head through it... just to see... OHHHHHHHH 😲 ...

That's the first step towards wisdom.

Starting tomorrow morning - and why not this evening - take a moment to really look, explore, and I hope, marvel at a 'banality' that will suddenly become magical 💫 ...

It's there. Always there. You never have to look far 😉.

Have a great week, with 🤩 wonder 🤩 and of course with ✨✨✨ MIAM la Vie ✨✨✨.
