“The more often we see the things around us – even the beautiful and wonderful things – the more they become invisible to us,”Joseph B. Wirthlin said. “That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds – even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.”

I do not take this tree for granted, because I do not see it often enough.
