To truly see and feel beauty, one must disconnect from the external and internal noise. Imagine you are looking at a miniature icon. It is incredibly small, yet every detail - a tiny brushstroke, a delicate pattern - is filled with profound meaning. If your mind is occupied with daily worries, you simply won't be able to notice these details. Inner Silence will help you.
