Isn't it nice when people take time to notice the little things that matter to you? Colours, flavours, textures, sound - whether or not we think about it, our senses are working and taking in all of this wonderful information; and we respond to it all in some fashion, often without complete awareness.
It really is remarkable when others care enough to notice what makes us respond, because not everyone takes time to attune to their own presence, let alone the needs and interests of others. In grade school I remember asking my best friend about her favourite colour, her favourite game - all of her favourite things. That was really important to us back then - it would have been inconceivable to not know all of those best-loved things!
How and when did I forget to take that kind of passionate interest in others? Do you know your best friend's favourites? Have you thought about your own favourites lately?
The famous architect, Mies Van Der Rohe, said so much when he quipped, "God is in the details".
