Today, I Look Up and See the Airplanes Above

“Today, I Look Up and See the Airplanes Above.”

We live in a world that spends most of its time looking down.

More precisely, a world looking at its phones.

A world where we can still pause and ask,

“Wow, was this here all along?”

A small promise I make to myself each morning as I leave home:

To notice the world entering my eyes and my ears.

Rather than looking down, I want to look ahead.

And sometimes, look up at the sky.

Day by day.

“Yes, today I will look up and watch the airplanes above.”

Let’s run!
