Seeing Something Different

I've taken up the habit of walking around the neighborhood after work. It is really interesting the different things one sees when you're moving along at a slower pace. The little details stand out. The hidden features are revealed. A different world is revealed.

I walk for at least half an hour every day at around 6.00pm (5.30 in Winter). People are coming home from work, or walking with their kids / dogs. I love doing it. It's very restful, while still helping maintain general fitness; and you see something different every day. :)

We live in a society that is always dealing with the "hurry up and wait" mentality, which is very stressful and very sad. It's depraved in many ways, imho, because it teaches people to ignore most of what is around them. Whether you're on the way to work, going to the supermarket (or co-op), or just off to visit friends I would recommend taking a moment at that stop-light (or sign) and just gaze around and note what catches your immediate attention. You never know when a subtle, sublime message will come your way by doing so.
