We never look at the grass, though it is ubiquitous. If it's left alone to shake its hair loose it will produce tiny tassels and flowers, miniature and beautiful, that I'd never noticed before. Beauty is so often size and commotion for us, and fancy labels, that the subterfuge of loveliness all around us goes unseen. Keith Miller

In this quote, the author is talking about how we should look at the world more closely. We should be able to see the beauty everywhere, especially in nature itself. This quote reminds us to take a second look before running from something that could make our life truly happy.
