A view becomes valuable through how often it gives an ordinary day somewhere to rest.

The worth of a view lies less in how spectacular it is than in how often you use it. A modest outlook you glance at twenty times a day, while the kettle boils or between tasks, does more for a life than a dramatic one visited twice a year. Repetition is what turns scenery into rest.

Watch where your eyes go when you pause during the day, and consider improving that spot rather than a grander one. Move the chair, clean the glass, put something living in the line of sight. Small rest, often, is what you are actually buying.
