I have had a period of time away from the hustle and bustle of corporate life recently. I spent the summer holiday re-acquainting myself with my family in various camp sites in the south west of England. I am now spending time arranging and preparing for building work to be done at home.
Inevitably my pace of life has slowed down. It has given me time to think and look around me. It made me realise that I have many things to be thankful for but do not often have the time to appreciate them. I remembered the story of Joshua Bell and thought I would share it on this (long-overdue) blog.
A man in a metro station in Washington DC started to play the violin; it was a cold, December morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
