"Daily life is always extraordinary when rendered precisely." --Bonnie Friedman

I love expressions like this one: "Daily life is always extraordinary when rendered precisely." In other words, when represented precisely--exactly and particularly--we find extraordinary evidence of beauty, mystery, wonder, and joy.

It's true. I'm encouraged to pay attention, look closely, and see my surroundings like an artist. When I write or communicate, I think about precision. The smallest, most mundane thing might become extraordinary if I let it.
