ele~ The people who live with everything, seem consumed with having more, and fail to notice the beauty all around them- that's how it seems to be. i watch people madly racing around the city trying to get from one place to the next because they're trying to be in two places at once when they're (really) nowhere at all. to me, it seems like a form of madness.... it's as though, by chasing whatever it is that they think they're going to get or find, they will somehow feel more alive. i wonder whether it's worth it. oddly, many of these people can't actually slow down. i think they lose the ability to do so. i run into them in forests and on lakes. they're the ones walking along talking on cellphones, or with their Walkman earphones on listening to music instead of to the birds and the breeze blowing through the leaves. sometimes i think that people in other countries would be a hell of a lot better off if they didn't know anything about "life in America" and use that as some kind of marker to work towards. unfortunately, advertising is widespread and very seductive. things can change before anyone has a chance to put on the brakes and say "no!" ~croc
