Hidden Treasures? / by Alexander Lyadov

Walking my dog in the evening, I look up and freeze.

The flames of the setting sun, the blue sky, and the shifting clouds together create hypnotic patterns. I want to watch them forever.

What strikes me most is the sudden shift.

Just a moment ago, my attention was consumed by the flow of the street: the movements of passersby, the growl of engines, and the cries of ads on poles. The sky above was just a backdrop, too familiar and still.

Suddenly, the ground and the sky switched places. What seemed important faded into the background, and the mundane revealed its hidden treasure.

Well, “hidden” might not be the right word—diamonds and pearls are scattered everywhere, always. Instead of a price tag, there’s an invitation: “Take as much as you can carry. It’s all free.”

Something inside me must be blocking me from noticing this brilliance.

But despite everything, beauty bursts into my tiny world when:

  • The changing seasons paint the roadside bush in intense colors.

  • A client’s problem transforms before my eyes, revealing a solution.

  • In a dream, I experience peak vitality, harmony, and freedom.

  • Precise words naturally build a pyramid of meaning.

  • Love is read in a conversation, even in silence.

  • a certainty crystallizes that it’s all for the best.

The trick is to learn to stop getting in your own way.

Everything we need most has always been, is, and will be here.

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
