noticing the background

This is actress Fukada Aki who plays a music student in Nodame Cantabile のだめカンタービレ her character's name is Inoue Yuki. Strangely I have watched the series many times and it seems that her name is never used. She is a secondary character and while I saw her in many scenes it is only recently I realized she was a cellist when the orchestra was playing.

Noticing is a strange thing in human experience. Somehow when we see the familiar we don't see and it is because it is familiar we don't see. They say familiarity breeds contempt. Learning to notice things is an essential part of spiritual maturity. It seems to me that often God's activities are so subtle that we don't notice him at work. May we never become familiar rather be amazed and filled in wonder, when we notice God at work.
