This morning, as most mornings go - it seems like a rat race
from the time we get up until the time we go to bed. You typically see the hurried behaviors in
peoples driving, you have a destination to get to and someone is driving less
than the posted speed. You go to the
store and there is inevitably a slow clerk.
It follows you wherever you go.
Sometimes
I find that I feel the need to "rush", even when I have no time
constraints. It has become a natural
part of life and the simple way of the world.When I am not in a hurry or rushing through my day, I find
that I get very irritated at those who are because I feel like they are rushing
me. Why must we be this way? Why is it that we feel the need to accomplish
so much in a day that we make ourselves crazy?
The best time for me is when I am out and about behind the
lens. I slow down completely, it puts me
in a serene and peaceful state of mind.
I allow myself to be vulnerable to what is around me. My eyes see things that I would normally pass
by. I have a bigger sense of picking
things out of the big picture and focusing on details. It makes me feel that I have a great
calmness.
Even if it is just for today, attempt slowing down, achieve
the peaceful state of mind, notice the little things and see if it makes a
difference in your life. Take your time!
