The Man Who Played the Violin

1. We perceive beauty, but only in places we are expecting to find it. When you are in a museum, you stop and admire the art, but when you are just walking to work in the morning, you can ignore things that are beautiful.
2. We don't stop to appreciate beauty sometimes because we think too much about other things like money and stress about getting to work on time. When you are too focused on things like that you become oblivious to the beauty around you.
3. We don't recognize the talent in an unexpected context because when we're not expecting to find talent or beauty, we're not going out of our way to try to look for it.
4. If you don't have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians, which is the case for a lot of people, we probably miss out on other beautiful things. Even with loud noise that is hard to ignore, the talent of Bell still went unnoticed.

   Going to church on Christmas and Easter was always an expectation in my family. Crosses of assorted colors and sizes covered the walls of my grandmother's house. I can't think of a time where we didn't say grace before a meal. For as long as I can remember, religion has been a large part of my family, but I've never been able to truly connect with the the prayers and things said in Church.    I remember my mom always trying to get me to go to church with her, then I would make up excuses to get out of going. While I know going to Church it is very important to some people, I have never felt the need to go or understood why it was so necessary. One time my mom told me she felt like she didn't do a good job of raising my sister and I because of our lack of religiousness.
