Watch The World Go By
Author Unknown
I was sitting outside my new home yesterday, watching the world go by.
There were people in cars, in a hurry to get to their next appointment. There were birds flying by, insects just as busy as the people in cars, plants and weeds thriving in the humid Guam climate.
Inside the house, my children were also busy, as ever, making a mess of the house, getting into things, their natural curiosity overpowering our previous pleas for them not to play with lotion or take things apart.
The sky was slightly overcast and there was a cool breeze, quite strong and pleasant actually.
It’s not often that most of us just sit quietly, and allow the world to pass us by. Is life passing us by as we keep our minds super-busy? Are we missing out on the beautiful world around us? When was the last time you just sat, and observed? Why not do it today?
