The Art Of Seeing Things: John Burroughs. A Quiet Reading for Clarity and Calm.
This week we spend a little time with John Burroughs and his thoughtful reminder to look closely at the world around us. The Art of Seeing Things invites us to slow our steps and let our attention soften, so the familiar becomes vivid again. It is a gentle call to presence and a steadying companion for a quiet evening.
I chose this work because it carries a simple truth. We see more when we stop trying to look so hard. Burroughs writes with a warm patience that asks us to notice the small wonders that live in our everyday paths. I hope this reading brings you a moment of clarity and a sense of ease.
Thank you for listening, my dear quiet friends. I am glad to share this time with you.
