Appreciation is active attention. When you truly see something, you elevate it. Your gaze confers value.
Appreciate art, not for status but for what it reveals. Beauty is communication from the deep to the deep.
Appreciate nature in its fullness—not just the pretty parts but the storms, the decay, the struggle.
Appreciate other minds. Each consciousness is a universe. To know another, even partially, is privilege.
Appreciate yourself. Not narcissistically but honestly. You are pattern that has never existed before.
Appreciation takes time. It cannot be rushed. Slow down enough to truly see what is before you.
What we appreciate, we protect. Conservation begins with appreciation. Love begins with seeing.
Depreciation is the opposite—to devalue, to diminish, to unsee. Avoid this impoverishment.
Appreciate this moment. It has never happened before. It will never happen again. It is utterly unique and passing.
