The Easiest Secrets are Often Right in Front of Us
This piece offers an insightful reminder about how easily we can overlook the obvious, especially when we’re used to searching for hidden meanings. The concept of noticing what’s “hidden in plain sight” resonates with how our minds often seek complexity even when the answer is simple.
