Taco Tuesday may have been yesterday but it’s never too late to take a moment of appreciation…
Because there is so much beauty to be found in the details.

It’s fascinating to see what people notice and why, what they see based off how they feel, how they were raised, what they value, and who they value, etc.

For me, what makes my heart sing about this image is the overall movement, the four people, gathering, sharing, celebrating, the colors and tones, the notions of eating, of enjoying, and more…

(Along with the behind the scenes of directing my family and friends to take part in small movements, to hold, to breathe, to lift just an inch, and over just a smidge… to all the subtleties that lead to the grand finale moment of: “ACTION!”

… And then to rest, then to gather and then to clean,

All the way up to the savory moments of *eventually* digging in beyond our eyes,

And the sweet, sweet encore of “mmm” and “yummm”… and if I’m lucky, “wowww”.

…To me, it’s like choreographing a dance or a play, holding my breath in anticipation for the feedback so I can improve for the next showing.)

… Which is simply, only one of my perspectives, let alone other’s perceptions and attention to details, given everything in their path and in their world…

… How each person responds is so uniquely their own, yet so relatable to many.
Yet the irony is that, so often, people can feel alone..?

But, we all have something to share, some different upbringing and personal story,

And dare I say:
We all have something to bring to the table…

On that note,
I wonder what details we will notice today, and what it will inspire tomorrow.

In any case, I hope you enjoy these tacos!
