Brooke, this is a beautiful letter and I totally relate to what you're sharing here. Noticing definitely feels like a double-edged sword sometimes! But the beauty, the art, the knowing... It's what life really is, isn't it? Those tiny moments and observations - spiders' webs, shadow shapes, flower petals curling, all of it. I think not noticing would be trying to block out pain and then missing out on joy - it's not worth missing one to be relieved of the other. "The prize and the price" just like you said. ✨

This is life. The more alive and connected we are the more we notice, the more we notice the higher the price. But oh what a dull and monotonous journey life would be without all the prizes and the price. But sometimes it would be so nice to just have a little break from all the thoughts and feelings, sometimes ignorance can be bliss.

Just beautiful Brooke. Look forward to reading your Friday letters as I look lit over my garden 💕 I love spiders and their webs too - perhaps I’ll have to try to find something endearing and meaningful about mosquitoes now, they are the critters that are annoying me atm 😂
