Wow! Just read Seth Godin's post in response to the Washington Post article about Joshua Bell...
An internationally acclaimed virtuoso violinist ignored in the D.C. metro station. He plays for the hundreds who pass by without most even noticing. Presentation and placement makes a huge difference.
What I think I like most is that Seth reminds that we get so caught up in our own lives and we get so bombarded with the advertising around us that we ignore the sweet sounds in life.
We forget to smell the roses.
What did you think of this? Do you agree with the conclusion?
Peace.

There are so many little things that are so sweet...

Look for the article 'Missing Beauty' posted April 8.
Makes you wonder what else we've missed in our busy lives. This story really intrigues me.
