Whatever you're doing right now, take a load off and relax for a few minutes... Unless you're reading this, finish this up (please) then take a load off.
I'm living in the city that never sleeps and the times when I can just sit back, relax and let the city pass me by are some of the moments I've enjoyed most. My time in New York has been full of outrageous adventures, interesting new people and so much more than could fit into a few sentences on here; but sometimes you just have to sit down for a minute!
Sitting in a cafe, I'm staring out the windows at the corner of 39th and 5th Avenue. In the several hours I've been here, probably thousands of feet have passed in front of me, everyone on their way to live some part of their life. Tourists and businessmen, fathers and mothers, daughters and sons- everyone is living, and I have the divine pleasure of watching.
Try it some time and you might find there is more peace in people watching than there is in meditating. Put yourself in the mind's eye of those busy bodies and try to imagine what they are doing, where they are going and just enjoy. Take a load off.
Ferris may have not intended for his phrase to be used this way, but I love it anyway:
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
