You are so right, sometimes, It's best to just stop and let the ducks pass. <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you liked Maine...it really is a gorgeous part of the country.Ryanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535463704571035144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-81114302601889220912008-07-07T02:13:00.000-04:002008-07-07T02:13:00.000-04:00I don't know that I could ever live in the country...I don't know that I could ever live in the countryside, but I sure love to spend time there once in a while.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I definitely need to do more slowing down for the proverbial ducks.nicole antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867096106743131289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-88947027734578848412008-07-06T18:56:00.000-04:002008-07-06T18:56:00.000-04:00VVK - Yah.

As for the violinist, I'm sorry to say I'd have hurried by as well. Blah is right.<BR/><BR/>DCup - Yes, exactly. Zoom zoom zoom. But the sucking ass of no internet? Very sucking very ass.

We've zoomed our lives away. I feel like I'm always in a rush and for what? Just like you discovered - for the purpose of rushing.<BR/><BR/>Good for you for figuring out how you feel about good time.<BR/><BR/>But lacking the internet?

There's so much light pollution in any urban population that you can't see nearly as many stars. This is one thing I miss about not living in rural Illinois.<BR/><BR/><I>And why don't I spend more time stopping and smelling the roses? Or waiting for the ducks to pass?</I><BR/><BR/>Last year, the Washington Post sent violinist Josh Bell to play at L'Enfant Plaza Metro station during the morning rush hour. He played his Stradivarius and they recorded how many people stopped to listen. The results are sad. Very, very sad.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I know that the L'Enfant Plaza area is a dead zone of government offices and nothing else... and that people are in a rush to get to work. But really? One of the worlds best violinist playing, and you don't stop to listen. Blah.<BR/><BR/>The original Washington Post story: <A HREF="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040401721.html" REL="nofollow">Pearls Before Breakfast</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2007/04/06/DI2007040601228.html" REL="nofollow">A follow up interview with Bell</A>vvkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734548705832479139noreply@blogger.com
