Be Present

Why can't people just take in and enjoy their surroundings? Walking on the sidewalk on a beautiful day, I almost run into too many people looking down sending text messages. If out for a walk, or just going from one thing to another, people find the need to call somebody just for conversation or distraction. What do you need to be distracted from? You can't tell me that the world itself is too boring. People walk around with headphones in their ears 24/7. What is wrong with the sound of life?

Observe, take it all in, enjoy it or criticize it, but live it. Be present.
