We have a lot of "street musicians" in Vienna. To be honest I don't stop to listen to every single one (because there is one at like every street corner down town!) .. But some of them are so talented and really really good and I stop to enjoy what they share with us..
Some of them share the thing that is most important in their lives.. and a lot of people don't appreciate it!
Most of the people don't recognize talents in unexpected context.. Most of the time it's because most of them don't have the time to stop, see and/or listen! They are on their way to work, to pick up their kids, a meeting, to meet a friend, to family events, ..
To see the world through children's eyes would be so great! They are fascinated by the littlest things.. and are curious about nearly everything, they want to learn and experience new things! They don't have the feeling of time yet and don't have to anywhere.. The older we grow the less we appreciate the little things of life..
It was no surprise for me that all the adults who have to work don't stop to listen to Joshua Bell. Nowadays people don't see all of it around them.. They have to go to work because that's their job. Even if kids try to show them the beauty of life.. they still don't see it because of all the other things they have on their mind!
Often is the beauty of life the simplest things.. We just have to start to see and enjoy them..
