Have you ever stopped yourself, put your phone down, and actually had a good look at the world you live in?
It's really quite amazing, the sights you'll see are pretty incredible, but only if you take the time out of your busy day to appreciate them. The online world has some pretty amazing pictures and videos, but they don't hold a candle to a live experience in which no photograph or video can accurately capture.
If you are ever out of the city in the evening when the sky is clear, look up and you will see the most amazing sight that will take your breath away. Thousands of bright dots litter the everlasting darkness, in a pattern that makes it hard to look away. If you keep watching you will notice some of those dots are actually moving quite quickly. Those are satellites that are reflecting the light from the planet, and they look amazing too.
I was outside in the sun the other day and I noticed a huge black cloud of birds all flying in what seemed like chaotic patterns, yet they were all in unison, and they were getting closer, flying closer to me in a weird undulating ball that never broke apart. When they were finally right on top of me I could feel the air moving from their movement, the beat of their wings sounding like a silent song and within that song I would almost swear that I could hear a voice, unrecognizable and completely foreign in nature, but a sort of voice nonetheless. I was completely mesmerized and amazed.
I am cloud watcher too, I don't look for animal shapes or anything, I usually look for the size and color of the clouds, and sometimes while I watch them I notice the wind on the ground is going a different direction than the clouds in the sky. I understand air currents are just like water currents but to see it in action first hand is pretty cool too.
Take a second out of your day to see what this world has to offer, you might like what you see.
