What colour is the sky at this very second?
When was the last time you looked up to the sky? Most of the time our eyes are down to read a book, at eye level to watch television, or focused in the distance at oncoming traffic, but when do we ever need to look up except on the rare occasion? Most of our time is occupied behind screens of some sort, whether it’s a computer screen, a television, or even the screen on your mobile. We are surrounded by distractions everywhere we go, and it’s almost as if we distract ourselves just to stay occupied. (Ironically, I’m trying to kill time by writing an entry since the computer lab is not open as yet.)
One thing we should do every now and then is to take a good look at the sky. It’s almost like watching a big fish tank in slow motion. Sometimes the lights are on, sometimes the occupants are totally gone. But one thing is for sure, it’s almost always relaxing. When you look up, don’t try and predict what the weather will be like, or what types of aircraft you see. Just revel in the beauty of the sky, and let it relax you.
So the next time you’re standing outside and waiting on something, take a deep breath and give your eyes the chance to venture above you for a bit. It’ll help keep you down-to-earth.
