Breathe in. And breathe out.

There is a place here in Kato from which you can see people walk by just beneath your feet (if only you let them hang). You can sit there for hours and just observe them. Believe me or not, you would be able to count those who look up at you on the fingers of your hands.
That actually made me think... Why is it that people don't look up anymore?

We're so caught up in looking as straight as possible not to let our goals out of our sight for even a split second that we don't even remember why we're doing all this.
We long forgot what it feels like to hit our head into something solid just because we were admiring the beautiful sky above us.

There is something enigmatic in the evening sky. Actually there's something enigmatic in the sky at all times of day. But the evening sky is the one that makes you... think. There's something pristine and immaculate in that view, never mind if it's huge dark thunder clouds or delicate feathery dust on the blue background. It brings flashbacks of the passing day, brings back memories and rewinds the song you've been listening to all day.
But it's also a metaphor. A metaphor of every choice you make in your life. It reminds us that every minute our life changes, with or without our knowledge, and the decisions we make have a huge impact on it. It also reminds us that no matter how much we wish we can do nothing to make the clouds look like they did 2 minutes ago.

So just breathe in. And breathe out. And look up as often as possible. Never forget why you're doing all this. The clock is ticking. :)
