And people mock ME when I tell them to slow down and enjoy the journey. The destination isn't going anywhere. ;) : Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule. 4 minutes later: The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk. 6 minutes: A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again. 10 minutes: A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children.. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.. 45 minutes: The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32. 1 hour: He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100. This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities. The questions raised: *In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? *Do we stop to appreciate it? *Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context? One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made. How many other things are we missing?

Alice Sharp Stop. Look. Listen. Simple.
Neva Brodie I hate I missed it...
indigorchid . This reminds me of Joni Mitchell's song "For Free", about the clarinet player who nobody listens to because he is playing for free.
Jessica Doran Thought-provoking, as intended.
Jennifer Schulte Good points, all. Emily has a point that the experiment is flawed because it is set in a place that people are passing through to meet time deadlines. Those mothers aren't rude, they are trying to get to a place to get on a train that is not going to wait for them. People pay the $100 to see him and make that time available. That all said, where was this guy when I had a 2 hour layover at a train station? How I would have loved to have seen and heard him then.

Karin Washler And unicorns and purple dolphins...and rainbows ;)
Vanessa Phillips I believe in a "good* God. The only way for us to be *good* is through Jesus Christ.
JulieAnn Bevins "the only way"? I am an agnostic and a very good person that tries to do an act of kindness everyday. Do you?
Shannon Price I am a Christian too, hoever, I believe there are good people from all walks of life and beliefs, just open your eyes and you'll see them ; )
Rowena Murillo Hey, ya'll, please don't proselytize on my board. I have no problem with people believing different stuff from me, but don't tell me that my way is wrong and only your way is right. Thanks.
nice quote and journal page.... "The point of meditation is not to change ourselves. The whole point of meditation is to get to know ourselves." quote by okitil jelku... artist Dragana Savkov-Bajic

A meteorology professor stood before his Meteorology 101 class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty glass mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a jar of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open spaces between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar and of course the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous yes. The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and then proceeded to pour the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the grains of sand. The students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things -- your family, your partner, your health, your children, your friends, your favorite passions -- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. "The pebbles are the other things that matter, like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. Play another 18. "There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."
