: If we had a chance to accept these experiences as a part of life then they would cease to be phenomenon. We are insulated from the important effects of these experiences buy modern existence. Having to pay the mortgage and feed the kids create a numbness that makes us insensitive to events going on around us all the time. The old children's rhyme (Stop, Look and Listen) about crossing the street is something we should all live by. I have experienced so much more by doing these three things daily. Try it just three times a day and your world will change. Your pen will fall though the crack all the time, Because it does more often than you think. You just catch it every now and then.
