Looking at the patterns on a leaf becomes similar to looking at a masters painting for me. Thus I stop and look at the leaf - belief dictates behaviour.

You don't need belief for that, Yorick. I've always 'looked at the leaf'. As a child, the natural world was a source of endless fascination to me, and still is.
Most people never 'see the leaf', the blade of grass, the flowering weed in the gutter. They live cocooned in their own minds.
