When you seek one thing, you miss everything else

When I look for something, like when I was hiking earlier I missed what was around me and searched hurriedly with my eyes looking for something beautiful to take a picture of but nothing matched whatever picture I had in my mind, I didn’t even know. I had just taken a beautiful shot and wanted more. I caught myself doing this and went back into just enjoying the trees and the way the light was coming through the leaves, highlighting little pieces of the Forrest floor. Often spotlighting beautiful mushrooms which made them look even more magnificent and that happened over and over again because I stopped looking for something. I just enjoyed the present

Often when I think I know what I need I miss what I really need which is usually right in front of me.
