I've stopped to listen to street musicians. What's better than that unexpected beauty right there before you to enjoy freely? But then, I also sit at my window and study my birds and trees when I'm "supposed to be" writing. ;-)LK Hunsakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706929624587891992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773882436450318586.post-32294133486132566552011-05-23T18:20:47.998-04:002011-05-23T18:20:47.998-04:00Liana, that's amazing.

It's amazing how we don't stop and just appreciate the beauty around us. We're all in such a rush. Not quite sure what I would have done. I might have listened if I had Andrew with me but if I had Joe I might have walked on. <br /><br />Smiles<br />StephStephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773882436450318586.post-26227047516020242482011-05-23T16:47:37.768-04:002011-05-23T16:47:37.768-04:00I remember hearing this story before.

I would love that think that I would have been enchanted by the music and stopped, but the truth is, I always seem to be in a hurry to get somewhere.<br /><br />As a social experiment, I think we flunked big time on this one.<br /><br />MaggieMaggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773882436450318586.post-40591984214488670712011-05-23T15:54:27.424-04:002011-05-23T15:54:27.424-04:00I don't have a good ear for music and would ha...I don't have a good ear for music and would have thrown my dollar and kept on going. Yet I take the time to admire beautiful flowers and especially the ocean view. So I think it has a lot to do with people's taste.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773882436450318586.post-65428047802095958062011-05-22T20:25:17.543-04:002011-05-22T20:25:17.543-04:00Wow.

When I first saw the photo, I noticed the thick tendons down his neck, a sign of extreme overuse--a professional, life-long violinist. Yep, that's what I saw. When I read your post, I nodded. Doesn't surprise me he's good...but world-renowned? Would never have guessed that.<br />I understand your question but do not know how to answer it. So, I'm still thinking.<br />Everything I see and hear on a daily basis is commonplace in my life.<br />But this morning, our church choir--who are extremely good--sang a common song, but with such feeling, I almost came to tears. I heard my husband shudder a breath, which meant he was close to tears. I looked around. Barely anyone was really paying attention--was I and my dh the only one who heard the deep emotion in the hymn they sang? I saw one older man nod, and that was about it. <br />But I love music, good music, so it didn't suprise me few worshipers really heard angels singing. <br />CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.com
