HOW MANY OTHER THINGS IN LIFE ARE WE MISSING?
A Violinist in the Metro A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC
and started to play the 
violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for
about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was
calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of
them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was
musician  playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds
and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a
woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to
walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen
to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again.
Clearly he was late for work.

The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His
mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the
violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to
walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by
several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced
them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and 
stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk
their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and
silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there
any recognition. No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell,
one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most
intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.

Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at
a theater in Boston and the seats average $100. Joshua Bell playing
incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as
part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of
people.

The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate
hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we
recognize the talent in an unexpected context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we
do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians
in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other
things are we missing?

HOW MANY OTHER THINGS IN LIFE ARE WE MISSING?
A Violinist in the Metro
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the
violin; it
was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45
minutes. During
that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand 
 of people went
through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician
playing.
He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up
to meet his
schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman
threw the money
in the till and without stopping continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him,
but the man
looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother
tagged him
along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally
the mother
pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the
time. This
action was repeated by several other children. All the parents,
without exception,
forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and
stayed for a while.
About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He
collected $32.
When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No
one applauded,
nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best
musicians in
the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written
with a violin
worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a
theater in
Boston and the seats average $100.
Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by
the Washington
Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and
priorities of people.
The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate
hour: Do we
perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the
talent in an unexpected
context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best
musicians in the
world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are
we missing?

We invite you to be mindful of how your "intentions" organize your "attention"
as
you move through the world today...
HOW MANY OTHER THINGS IN LIFE ARE WE MISSING?
A Violinist in the Metro
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it
was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes.
During
that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people
went
through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing.
He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his
schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the
money
in the till and without stopping continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the
man
looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him
along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother
pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This
action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without
exception,
forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a
while.
About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected
$32.
When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one
applauded,
nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in
the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a
violin
worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in
Boston and the seats average $100.
Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the
Washington
Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of
people.
The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we
perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an
unexpected
context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in
the
world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
