When did you last gaze at the sky?
When did you last lie down and gaze at the sky until you lost track of time?
Sky-gazing is a wonderful practice that I believe most of us do far too seldom. But it is one of these things you can do in-between. We have a chance to sky-gaze much more often than sit beneath a tree or even let our feet dangle in a sunny brook.
In the business of our everyday lives we don’t always have the hour or two we’d like to spend outside in nature, working-out like real earth warriors, or roaming through wonderful places with nothing else to do but adventure. We get up in the morning at the time we have to, to make sure we can get a bite to eat and be at work on time. We drive cars, go shopping, have our lunch, a bit of small-talk in the hall or at the tip; it doesn’t really matter what or where, or who we are, we are all very busy. If we’re not busy, we make ourselves busy, we click through our iPhone, flick through a magazine, light a fag and think about what happened this morning, stare at adverts or people, no matter what, input is what we create and what we get.
