Family Walk.
Suddenly, the gaze widens.
Literally and figuratively,
The eyes seem to see wider, further.
And the point of fixation, which until then imposed acute attention, jumps from one to the other, then from the inside (worries) to the outside (various stimuli).
The defined points lose their power to direct attention.
They no longer have a hold; these elements do not disappear, but move away, lose their substance.
The electric crust of the world is pierced, and we enter a Kingdom of serenity.
Notes & Silence 
I find that, if I am quiet, and simply watch, listen, seek to be aware without thought, distinctions tend to melt away. However, this has the odd result that details become more apparent. The wind making patterns in the grass, the movement of leaves, the song of a bird to one side answering that of another to the other side, the currents of air against a cheek…
Although the detail becomes apparent, it is effortless. It is as if I become one with « what is ».

Is that analogous to « let all of creation praise the Lord »?

Not for me, but such analogies are dependent on one’s view of such imagery.
