Observation of
Beautiful Forms.
If we look at
life from that perspective, how different would each day, each encounter be?
The term "kaleidoscope" was coined by its Scottish
inventor David Brewster. It is derived from the Ancient Greek word (kalos),
"beautiful, beauty", (eidos), "form,
appearance" and (skopeō), "to look, to examine",[4] hence
"observation of beautiful forms". It was first patented on July
10, 1817.
We are surrounded by a digital world where often the negative in life
gets the most attention. The loudest
voices of today are the least intelligent, the least loving and the least kind.
Collins rejects that manner of living.
It does not mean closing yourself off from the world, but rather, taking
your own power back. Choosing to give
the beauty in life for more attention and focus than the alternative voices.
We are surrounded by miracles. A
dolphin leaping through the Ocean. The
kindness of a horse nuzzling our neck.
The magic of touching a single ancient Oak Tree, or the communications
between the roots of thousands of Aspens.
The kindness of strangers. The
smiles of friends. The laughter of
children. The hilarity of a harmless mistake.
The flight of a single butterfly.
Notice as you read this that your inner feelings already lift.
This is only the beginning.
Let your life be a kaleidoscope.
