The Art of Noticing

Noticing often begins with something small.

A bit of sunshine through the leaves.
A quiet path through the prairie grass.
Early morning birdsong at sunrise.
A moment that catches your attention and invites you to pause.

These moments are what I like to call
twinklings
— small glimmers of wonder that appear in ordinary days.

When we begin to notice them, life feels a little fuller. What once passed by unnoticed becomes something worth remembering.

At Maple Prairie, noticing is simply a way of paying attention to the beauty already around us.
