Throughout life, we focus more on the big, great things that we often forget to acknowledge and appreciate the small but important things. The same thing happens when we admire nature. When we look at flowers in full bloom, we forget to admire the beauty of tiny lilies and buds. Normally, when admiring the leaves, branches, and trunks of large trees like banyan trees, we often mistakenly think we are trampling useful grasses and herbs under our feet. Also, while we admire the courage and strength of big animals, we forget to appreciate the little creatures that God created.
