Are we losing the ability to appreciate the extraordinary? Are our lives so overloaded with constant input that we’ve become desensitised to remarkable moments?
Henri Herbert is an undoubtedly talented musician. He plays piano with the Jim Jones Revue. You may have seen the YouTube video below when it was published almost a year ago. It’s a video of Henri sitting down to give an impromptu performance at St Pancras International station, London.
It’s amazing to see the indifference from most people in the station. They’re so busy with what’s happening in their own worlds that they fail to notice that something amazing is happening right next to them. Watch the video and take notice of the crowd.
Are we taking enough time in our lives to notice what’s going on around us? Are we missing the beauty that we might otherwise experience? I wonder if we’re seeing so much innovation and leaps forward in technology that we’ve lost a sense of awe at the remarkable.
What steps are you taking to ensure that you’re open to the extraordinary, even when it comes to you in quiet moments and subtle ways?
