Imagine this. You are walking on your usual street. Same shops. Same road. Same sounds. You’ve seen it so many times. So you stop paying attention. Your mind is busy. Thinking about work. Thinking about problems. Then a child runs past you. He suddenly stops. He looks at the ground. There is a small bug. He sits down and watches it closely. Like it’s something amazing. He is fully focused. For him, time slows down. You look at it for one second… then walk away.
