When I lived in England I regularly had opportunity to walk
by the spot where students said Isaac Newton famously saw an apple fall from a
tree.
As the story goes, this is how gravity was discovered. Of
course, gravity had been around much longer than that, but the moment Newton
noticed fruit falling from a tree has been credited with kicking off the
research into the theory of what gravity was and how it works.
In that moment, Newton noticed, paid attention, and
pondered. It led to an epiphany of the highest order.
It makes me wonder what would happen were we to make
noticing, paying attention, and pondering bigger parts of our lives.
I wonder if there are epiphanies happening all around us.
And it’s up to us to simply notice.
