That leads me to this incredible story. "Joshua Bell is one of the world's greatest violinists. His instrument of choice is a multimillion-dollar Stradivarius. If he played it for spare change, incognito, outside a bustling Metro stop in Washington, would anyone notice?"
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
-- from "Leisure," by W.H. Davies
Thank to Lucy for pointing me to the story.

I've been carrying my camera with me all the time the past several weeks. I find that I see things differently, I see things I would otherwise overlook, with my photographer's eyes.
The eyes of a child.
Incredible. Our daughter used a recording of Bell for her pre-wedding music.
Davies has it right. We are living life at much too fast a pace. This is what I love about gardening as a hobby. You just can't do it fast, or it's no fun. I have some of my best moments when I'm pulling weeds.
Thanks for the link, that was a great article. Reminds us all to pay more attention and be open to seeing what is really going on around us.
