"We can scale the heights of mountains and see the world rayed out before us, but we fail to recognize that which is before us"

This quote by Ruth St. Denis speaks with the idea that we frequently neglect the appeal and importance of the important things that are ideal in front of us. We are so concentrated on accomplishing terrific heights and seeing the world from a different point of view that we forget to value the small things that are best in front of us. We are so hectic trying to find the grandiose that we forget to put in the time to value the beauty of the everyday. We can climb up the greatest mountains and see the world from a various point of view, but we frequently fail to recognize the beauty and significance of the things that are ideal in front of us. We must put in the time to value the little things in life, for it is these little things that make life worth living.
