Stopping Time

This (apologies, for some reason the video will not embed) is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. It's also not the first time I have said that about improveverywhere. I spent most of the week in a relatively new town and wish I had seen this before I arrived. It would have changed the way I experienced things over the past few days. Its so perfect that this happened in NYC tho, a city full of constant stimulation. I would have loved to be there when it happened, not knowing what was going on. How surreal. The fact that so many minds and so much preparation came together to execute this adds to the magnitude of it. It makes me reassess how I go about my life and consider what human interactions should be like. That's probably one of the obvious goals of the group, but still, it’s compelling. Shouldn't this be what meeting or observing people on a daily basis should be like? Shouldn't daily experiences be a source of awe and fascination? Watching people an exercise in discovery? Simply walking down the street an opportunity to view once in a lifetime occurrences? Ok, now I’ve gone too far.
