So, I don’t know about you guys, but driving is very comforting to me. I have two jobs on opposite parts of town so I’m spending a lot of time in the car constantly leaving one place and going to the other. With that being said, I try to utilize this time as “me” time—time to think, time to breathe, time to listen to music, zone out, pick my nose, whatever. While driving west on the 78 the day after a rain storm around sunset (and rush hour traffic) I looked up and saw the most beautiful sky. It looked like an amazing painting with the richest oil colors, and I couldn’t help but realize how often these types of natural scenes are overlooked. Working in the arts keeps our eyes on the lookout for colors and paintings and artworks that are created by artists, but sometimes we forget that the inspiration behind such works is all around us every day. There is no richer green than that of grass or natural moss or clovers. There is no brighter blue then that of the sky and there is no truer pink than that of my Snapple pink lemonade. What I’m getting at is this—take some time to lift your head up out of the grind and enjoy the natural artwork that is all around you.
Listen to this song while driving, walking, biking, hiking through nature next time. It’ll make everything go slower. J
