We're just ordinary people

There's something so calming and serene about watching the world go by. One of my favourite pastimes is sitting on the balcony of a high-rise apartment (preferably overseas) and just taking in a scene. Who are all these people? What kind of a lives do they lead? The concept of not knowing whether someone is enduring the best or worst day of their life is truly fascinating. I like to imagine what is going through their heads as they partake in their daily activities. Call me a freak? Perhaps. But today whilst sitting out on my balcony watching the world (my street, rather) go by, a song was inspired. And that's when it dawned upon me; there is something magical about stopping for one second that brings clarity and peace of mind to me. Therefore, as we go into 2011, I will endeavour to dedicate a little time to doing just that; nothing. Just for one moment.
