Appreciate Beauty

Honestly I love the violin (I'm getting one soon) so I might have stopped, also with the fact that it was Bach. I try to stop for people who play on the streets or anywhere because most of the time they need the support or just someone to listen to what they have to express.
I am originally from South Eugene so I have seen a lot of people rockin out on the streets or at the market. I can remember this little boy, he was like 11 or 12 and he was playing his violin, not the greatest but he was doing it so he could go to a music school. I thought it was wonderful, not because of just how he sounded but because he was so passionate about it! I loved it! I gave him money and stopped to listen to him play...
So anyway, I am scared to think about how much beauty I have missed in life because I was on a journey to somewhere, waisting my time more than likely. Now that this topic has been brought up, I think I'm going to stop and smell the flowers more, or more than I already do, smile at people, listen to wonderful music, give little kids I don't know money, help grandma across the street, and lay in the grass... sounds like a brilliant idea! we should all do it!

oh also, just like on YES MAN, I am going to do jogging photography, so if you would like to join me, just say hey, I would like to do that as well!
.peace.
