Check out this great NPR piece on how “noticing” can give us a break from our busy days. And with (hopefully) the warmer weather today, it’s a great day to celebrate Earth Week by trying it out! Eat your lunch on the lawn, take a walk in Riverside, maybe even picnic in Central Park, find a tree to climb…
From the article:
“In this permanent state of hyperventilation, the issue for us all is not stopping to smell roses. It’s not even noticing that there are roses right there in front of us. Joseph Campbell, the great scholar of religion, hit the core of our problem when he wrote, “People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive.”"
