So much beauty in the world

And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever...

... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in.

 

One of my favorite quotes from American Beauty. I believe it fits this scene and my feelings about it. There is just so much beauty in the world right there in front of us everyday if we just open our eyes to it. From the ordinary to the extraordinary, unfathomable wonders are right there in front of your nose. Don't shut it out. Don't let it pass you by as if you didn't care. Look closer.

 

This is just an industrial park retention pond behind my apartment. Nothing out of the ordinary. But look what it becomes!
