A bridge I take almost every day to upper campus, sometimes the most ordinary paths carry extraordinary meaning when we stop to notice.

Every day, I walk across this bridge on my way to upper campus, usually focused on lectures, deadlines, or study plans. But through mindful noticing, I’ve learned to slow down and appreciate the moment. The bridge, once just part of my routine, has become a reminder that even the most ordinary paths can hold meaning. The quiet view, the changing sky, and the simple act of crossing connect me to the present. It shows me that flourishing isn’t only about big milestones but also about noticing beauty in the small, familiar parts of life.
