Have you ever taken a stroll through a beautiful hillside far from city lights? Whose only sights consist of flowers, trees, grass and all that God had created? Have you ever just stood at the top of that hillside and taken in the everything it has to offer? It can be simply amazing...if you let it. Now come back to New York City. The cars, the noise, the flat pavement and the constant motion of the masses. To most it seems like night and day but ask yourself...what's the real difference? I mean really think about it. Take the time and stop somewhere. Try to take in the people as you would the flowers. Take in the buildings as you would the trees and the pavement as you would the grass. The only difference is that one was created by God, the other was created by man but to me...art is art.
Everyday we have a chance to see something new...to learn something more. In every single day of our existence, we have the chance to take in something we missed because we were too busy. To appreciate that which we have taken for granted. Whether it be on a hillside, smack in the middle of 34th street or even in the soul you have known most of your life. Just remember, there is NEVER a good reason to be "bored". The appreciation of life is the essence of "living". All you have to do is keep this at the forefront of your mind: where you are...is where you're at. Stop thinkin about where you want to be or where you have to be at and take the time to actually "be" wherever you find yourself. You'll be surprised at what you will begin to see that you didn't before...
