And while it takes courage to achieve greatness, it takes more courage to find fulfillment in being ordinary. For the joys that last have little relationship to achievement, to standing one step higher on the victory platform. What is the adventure in being ordinary? It is daring to love just for the pleasure of giving it away. It is venturing to give new life and to nurture it to maturity. It is working hard for the pure joy of being tired at the end of the day. It is caring and sharing and giving and loving…

Sun setting while in an ordinary moment. Waiting in traffic.

The beauty of God, ‘so ancient and so fresh’, is a constant theme of Augustine’s. It is the vision of an indescribable loveliness that calls our hearts out of darkness, breaking down the barriers of false love, rightly ordering those desires and impulses by which we live. In the City of God (XV. 22), Augustine quotes from the Song of Songs (2. 4): ‘He has set love in order in me.’ This offers a ‘short and accurate definition of virtue’, as ordered love, love which recognizes and clings to what is authentically lovable and is not content with merely transient beauties.

...the previous day rained a lot, heavy rain. The sun in the very early morning has created this wonderful landscape. It lasted just a few minutes, the fog has disappeared as the sun has become stronger.

I tried to capture it for you but i think nature it's not repeatable!

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

Beauty in the ordinary : Vignettes of Provence

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.”

― Oscar Wilde

  

What is it that causes us to cherish material items like we do? Why do we value gold, silver, jewels? They don't provide nourishment or quench our thirst or provide shelter or comfort. Is it because they represent wealth and are scarce so only those with enough money can own them?

many ordinary moments contain beauty, peace, and wisdom. wonder is something we hold within us. it’s accessed through an open heart, mind, and eyes. ordinary things can be wonderful.

Different take on an image of Rangitoto Island, likely one of the most photographed landmarks in Auckland. When out for a walk, I spotted these metal racks, part of a children's playground. Shooting through them provided an interesting different point of view. Whilst crawling on the ground to find the right angel, this gentleman walked right into the image. Perfect as provides some distorted sense of scale. Just another of those day-to-day situations. Nice.
