Explore Your City

How was your weekend?

Mine was pretty good. It felt long, and packed full of activity. I don't know about you, but some weekends go by in a flash. Friday at 5pm is greeted with joy and within a blink of an eye, Sunday night is there. Where did the weekend go? What did I do with my time? I relaxed, but was it relaxing? I rested, but was it true rest, or just passing time?

This weekend went a little better. It was filled with people, new experiences, and new places. 
I travelled the world in my own city. I met many people in my friends. Time slowed down and I felt it.

It was a particularly hot Saturday in London. I felt the sweltering heat and welcomed it. The sun penetrating my skin, to warm my heart.


I leave you with my present moment of the day, walking back, and pausing to take in the moment of this musician's lovely voice, and feeling the warm, still summer air around me.





What was your present moment of the day?

About Present Lens

Present Lens -- a play on present tense. To be, here, now.

This is what this blog is dedicated to; capturing the moment, living in the present.

How often do you feel like life is just passing you by? Like the moments roll into one, merging and forming a great mass of yesterday, the past.

How often do you stop and smell the roses, feel the wind on your skin, the gentle rays caress your face and shoulders? How often do you notice the laugh of the small child running happily on the street, the gentle sound of water as it flows along the riverside, as it crashes against the rocks, as it rains down from that beautiful fountain?

How often do we stop to taste the food we eat, enjoy the textures on our tongue, the salt, the sweetness,

the tangy sourness, a musical delight to our senses.

How often do we see those we love, do we see ourselves, do we see the grand architecture on our streets?

We will start now.

Everyman

I saw a great play the other day. Let me tell you about it...
It was called Everyman, and it featured the terrific actor Chiwetel Ejiofor.
After seeing him in the phenomenal "Twelve Years A Slave", I relished the thought of seeing him in the flesh!
He didn't disappoint.

A passionate performance based on the 15th century "morality play" which represents all mankind and the account we must give at the end of our lives, alone.

Transformed by Carol Anne Duffy, the play takes on a poetic edge, with a modern and comedic twist.

Highly recommended!
