Some people seek out the undiscovered, the never-befored. Others flock to the field of dreams, the top of the bucket list. For me, I’ve always had a knack for finding the unseen facets in the everyday. Remembering that which has been forgotten is a kind of magic that rivals discovering something unseen.
