As you stand at the edge of the fifth, circular area, you seem to be able to detect sounds, but you can't quite tell what they are. You start to walk forward, you tilt you head, your breath becomes slow and quiet. The sounds increase. Sounds of laughter and playful yelling start to fill the air. You see bright greens, blues, reds, and yellows. You begin to see children running, climbing, sliding, and swinging. Some adults playing, others watching, talking to each other. Suddenly all becomes quiet. All eyes are on you. The children run over to you, and lead you to a water fountain. "Wow! You look thirsty." they say. You look around thinking you must have stumbled into a utopia the world has always dreamed of. Then you notice everything is strangely familiar. It is actually our world outside the stressful, ratrace when we decide to slow down and enjoy life. The innocence and kindness of children. The compassion, and generosity of people of all ages. Why haven't you noticed this before? You decide this is where you will spend the majority of you time from now on, with only short visits to the others, not the other way around.
People have varying degrees of talent. Bakers, Sports Stars, Writers, Counselors, Ministers. They all need fine tuning. Whatever you talent practice, practice, practice.
Thanks for bearing with me while I fine tune what I like to do. Go discover your world, Paul
