"Life moves
pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around every once in a while, you could miss it."
I have been pretty awful at keeping up with this blog that I had such high hopes for. But I suppose where there are high aspirations, there is a high chance of failure. So I am trying again. I am working at the MIT AgeLab this summer. It is incredible. I am blessed with this opportunity, I am blessed by the work I am doing, I am blessed by the people I am meeting and most of all I am blessed because I am being allowed to dream and scheme and have hope for what things might come my way as I progress on my course.
Tonight, I was waiting at the bus stop, like I do, the good old CT2 Ruggles Station. And I realized that I had my camera in my bag of journal articles, Harry Potter & the Metro. Everyday, I see these beautiful orange and yellow flags that line the median of the Kendall Square/MIT bus/subway stop. It is so serene to watch these flags welcome me to work every morning and wave me off as I leave for home as the sun sets. And then I arrived home to find one of the daily quotes in my inbox to read the words of Ferris Bueller. And I realized, that I had actually done that today and so I hope to continue many more days, if not all of them, to share with you what I am stopping to see along the way before I miss it, or worse, before I leave it behind because something comes to an end.
I wish you a quiet moment to stop and see the things that may otherwise quickly pass you by. Whether that be tonight or tomorrow, I hope that moments finds you and brings you the sense of peace I felt seeing those flags tonight in Cambridge, MA.
