An Oscar and Grammy award winning Violinist is playing at the entrance to a train station, do you hear him play, or walk past in your own world?
Well, in DC where this was conducted
over a thousand people walked past as Joshua Bell performed. Only seven of them seemed to notice. That seven included a 3 year-old boy. Of the other 6, only a few stayed for more than a few moments before they rushed off.
I wonder if I would hear the music, or if I would be so caught up in my own world to pass on without even blinking at the performance. I know what I’d hope for, but the reality, is unsettling. A fantastic story, and lesson on mindfulness in the world. Would you hear the music? Really?
