"What is life is full of care, we have no time to stand and stare" - William Henry Davies
ON Saturday was waiting to meet people on a road that had just been reopened after a May Day (traditional British style with May Queen etc.) parade. Other people were doing the same.
I looked around and noticed people (some still in costume etc. so interesting crowd) and looked at buildings (its a pretty street, even though I know it well) and was quite happy.
One thing I noticed was the everyone else who was waiting for people was on their phones, almost all the time they were there.
Obsessive business is the opposite of mindfulness.
It also kills casual social interaction. Talking to someone who is standing next to you.
