Thomas Slatin Quote On The Little Things

Thomas Slatin

It’s the little things I see that most people don’t. Like the way birds fly backwards, forwards, and fall. How butterflies dance around in the air as if they’re weightless, and how flowers sway organically in the wind. Perhaps I care too much, and dive too deep.

    Sounds like the poetic temperament; or the thoughtful child’s eye. Curiosity is never a bad thing; we wouldn’t be where we are today (for better or for worse) without the curious and the perceptive.

    Admiring nature is totally gratifying. It puts things in perspective too when you’re too focused on material things.

    Well That is common is it not? I think as we grow older we rend to do that. In most cases unconsciously/ Like we are so occupied with work that we have no time to do the little things. This is why I think this crisis if there is one silver lining. It forces us to go back to basics.

    I do definitely agree. Life’s most beautiful moments lie in the wonder of why things happen the way they do in nature – in the flight of birds, the sparkling of the sun in rippling waters. It really makes one appreciate everything fully and live life to the fullest.

    Has a writer and a photographer, you need to see what ordinary people couldn’t see. See beyond the ordinary, that defines your work. Like the way birds fly backwards, forwards; is this ironically?

    It’s good to always step back and appreciate the liitle things in life. They are what count at the end of the day 🙂

    Me and you are very much in the same school of thought. I have always found the little details of life fascinating.

    As an aspiring photographer myself, I couldn’t resonate more with your sentiments. The beauty is always in those minor details that so many of us tend to miss. Wonderfully said Thomas.
