We get fascinated easily when we see popstars, celebrities, famous designers, sparkling items and luxurious gems. We are thrilled to talk about fashions, politics, public figures, mass-media... as they're big. Extraordinary. Influential. But life is not constructed only by the massive particles - it was built in stages from the constellation of small materials.
So when there's a question: what things that could easily distract you? Instead of picking several popular things that have lay down for ages in my hegemonic mind, I choose something 'smaller', more simple and quite ordinary. Things that we can find around us, things that probably we see and feel everyday... things that we sometimes forget:
Like the beautiful skies and cute-shaped clouds...

the lonely road we're passing by...
...or the small living creatures on the suburbans...
... the gentle wind that blows our hair...

...the mysterious shadows that we rarely realized...
...the hidden story between every door and window...
...the lonely old people...
and every little thing about life itself : nature, human beings, interactions... love.
There are lots of things in the universe and even more can be found in our life. All we need is a little stop and moments to stare around a bit longer than usual... Find the sense of every thing exists, and imagine if every of them has their own stories. You'll find yourselves distracted by its richness and majesty... those ordinary things that are forgotten.
But we can start remembering... from now.
