Looking at the picture of the beach, I felt that when I DID live on the beach I took moments like these for granted. It made me think: if in a year from now, someone posted a picture of a beautiful Korean Buddhist temple on a quiet mountain, would I look at it with that same feeling of awe and regret? This post has helped me to remember the "snapshots" of beauty that are around me everyday. My lens, or my eyes, or my pen... it's captured. Thanks again for the reminder.

I still have to ask us both the question though - who's to say what an unfiltered immersion is? I mean the band filters their music through synthesizer to get a "kind" of sound. Filtered sound. We are always filitering. Me, in that same moment on the beach would likely be much more awair than you or the running man, of the SOUND of the waves than of the rising sun.

But, it took me back to one of my posts a few months ago about how many bands were complaining about fans recording concerts on their cell phones. Not because they didnt want to be ripped off, but because they felt it took them out of the pure experience. And, the comments to that posts echoed strong support for that claim in daily life. We all have to take in experiences in the way that's most meaningful to us. Sometimes that's unfiltered immersion. Other times, it's by blending the expression of a second "stimulus processing" passion into the experience. @ Rachel – good question, the truth is that I have no idea what was going on in the man’s mind.

I'm so glad I read it. You do have a nice way of painting a picture with your words Jonathon. The only question is, how do you know the man was not enjoying the moment just as much as you were? Just in his own way. I wouldn't think seeing something through a camera lens would be near as wonderful as sitting still and looking with ones own eyes at it. But maybe it was as meaningful for him in all his freneticness as it was for you in your stillness. My husband is a painter and he is never so happy and in the moment as when he is some place breath taking WITH his camera. He is pure zen in those moments. He's beside himself in the awe of it, and while not running in his jammies, he's likely to be knee deep in a streem in his jeans. Lovely post. I’m so glad I read it.

It's amazing what we can see if we slow our lives down to notice. There is beauty all around us. God's glory is present in the beauty of his creation. We seem to buzz right past the natural beauty of this world while stopping to see the horrors. How sad.... Being still to find the beauty outside ourselves often is internalized and we feel the beauty within our souls. Beautiful……

Seems like that was something that really stood out to you. Was he a hunk of hunk, Jonathan? ;) I love how you put such significance on the fact that he was shirtless.
