The Things You Might Miss

We move ever quicker through life; the older we get, the quicker time seems to flow. If we were to slow down, would we know what to do with ourselves? What have you missed and passed by through life? Did you even notice?

The things you might miss, what will you see when you look:
Across the street?

Up?

To the Left?

To the Right?

Around the corner?

Down?

On your way to work?

In a corner?

On a fire hydrant?

Upon leaving the library?

After getting a quick drink and bite?

Randomly?

Yes, I'm glad I slowed down enough to see the hidden things before my eyes. I will miss this city. Chances are the next time I walk its streets, these scenes will be erased or replaced by others. All the more reason to value these snapshots in time.

There is so much good that we never take the time to see or appreciate. Thanks for reminding us.

Insert random joke about stereotyping Asians and pictures.

Anyway, those are really lovely works of art.

Naturgesetz: I don't want life to pass me by, so I'm slowing down while I can. God knows, once in med school, things will just whiz past.

Mike: Yeah, I know right?! I'm finally off to med school! ^_^

James, Zee: Thanks!

Jeremy: Aww, and I will read your blog (soon).

cvn70: I don't know . . . I feel like life speeds up super fast until you're quite middle-aged, then it starts slowing a bit.
