Unseen

"Unseen"

This piece is new in a series I'm calling "Pearls."

I was thinking about times when I was so preoccupied with the past and future, I missed out on opportunities that were right in front of me. I would be inattentive to the present moment by holding out for perfection or while ruminating on a hamster wheel of what was wrong with my world.

Have you ever desperately wanted something like an answer, a different mindset, or a new direction, but you didn’t see it or recognize it as it presented itself to you in plain sight?

I wonder what wonderful opportunities are staring me in the face that I can’t see.
