I can relate.
These fans made me stop in my tracks. I could relate to them having fallen on their face. I stood there and spoke to them.
“I understand”, I said aloud.
The old me would have felt embarrassed relating to an object that couldn’t talk back. I feel grateful for my new eyes. I see life in ordinary objects and the beauty of the world has grown exponentially. These fans carry on even while not serving a purpose. They are resting - purely existing - and I can relate.
There’s beauty everywhere; you just need to adjust your perspective with intention.
