Inspired by taking an evening walk and noticing this beautiful purple house in my neighborhood. I’ve lived in the same place for almost 3 years and walked down this street plenty of times but for some reason it stood out today. Sometimes the light just hits in such a way that something I’ve seen several times before looks new/different.
I guess this rec is essentially to take the expression of “looking at things in a different light” very literally.

I think it’s important to make the most of the grass part by the sidewalk. It’s fun to stare off into the distance for a while.. perhaps at a distant tree or a house or a church steeple or a mountain
Every morning I look at the mountains before I leave for work /\/\

i realized that despite my very consistent days and schedule there was so many things I didn’t notice about my routes that bring me way more joy, strange signs, neat graffiti, abandoned things, consistent things changing things. It’s not a full life shift but it made me much more interested in my mundane world

Sometimes just looking up and taking in your surroundings makes you feel so real and human.
Something about seeing what your fellow man has created is really inspiring and gives you a cheery buzz of life.

These are those unplanned, worn-in trails that come into existence from consistent use over time. I like how they represent a record of the way humans and animals interact with their environment, with some being wide and well travelled while others are overgrown and don’t see that much use; each one has a story! I think they’re a cool example of the ways in which we unintentionally shape nature while it shapes us right back. So take that desire path and push back against infrastructure imposed upon you (if you want).
I also just think Desire Path is a beautiful combination of words.
