I studied a picture....a tiny picture of a tiny fish. I studied the way the light glistened off the scales, the intricate perfection of its fins, the grace of its tail. I was awestruck by its simple beauty, certain I was looking at the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I blinked, and when I opened my eyes again, my field of vision was flooded with an entire school of fish, each more beautiful than the last. I searched for my original fish, my tiny perfection, and discovered I couldn't distinguish it from any other fish.

Amazing what a little perspective will do for you.
