The Impressivity and Importance of Detail

The endless minutae in any given moment, regardless of what moment that is, is a consistant way of truly appreciating the endless beauty and unfathomable intricacy that life and this world of form ('reality', 'the world') endlessly provides. Again, a lack of judgemental or 'concious' thought is needed for such an appreciation to be established, as judgemental or concious thoughts will accociate either facts with or individualised interpretations of that detail, therefore rendering yourself blind to the sense of stillness and appreciation that would otherwise come from an unjudged observation. Consider it in the context of an aspect of nature, for nature truly holds all beauty necessary for true appreciation. When one looks at a tree, or a leaf, or a stream, they will inevitably link logical and factual associations with that object, such as: "Look there's a tree, it has a brown trunk and light green leafs, it can photosynthesise, the light it filters is casting strange shadows across the ground". Some distinctly lucky people may get a strange yet great feeling when they associate with an element of undefiled nature, a feeling they might associate with happiness, or joy, or some positive emotion, although this is soon to end once the moment of appreciation goes. By observing the tree without the judgemental or logical mind, a concept of purely seeing the tree without an attached thought, the inevitable beauty of its minutae; the rivulets of the bark, the fibres of its leafs, and further; the tree itself, the forest, the moment, indeed the vast yet remarkable complexity of life, existance and the universe, immediately becomes apparent. In such a moment, the individual has no need for this feeling, this knowledge, this appreciation, to be explained or analysed by the rational mind, it is somehow, perfect, right, ideal. Through this state, the lines of the grain on a desk, the glisten of light along the edge of a coin, the notion of water, indeed any percievable individual detail or aspect of reality becomes beauty itself. Through a maintenance of such observation, these individual details will stand out alone, whilst also blending into one imcomparably brilliant representation of the endless beauty and unfathomable intricacy of life and this world of form.
