Look up, see blue... and so much more

Just look at a pristine blue sky. I dont mean stand there and merely glance up, i mean go lay in your front yard, oblivious to what the people in the passing cars will think, and stare! 'okay' you think. 'its blue, yeah, so what' But really its so much more. You just cant see it. That sky goes on for so far we can even fathom. We dont even know everything thats out there.
It seems to me that most people dont take time to notice that, you know, to see the small stuff (or, in the case of the sky, the ginormous thing hanging over their head. Its just less obvious). shadows on paper, ants, the funny wrinkle on your bed. They dont think who might be wearing the same shirt as them in california, or where the quarter thier paying for their lunch with has been, or who touched it, and what are they like? How many blades of grass are in their front yard, how many nails are in their house, or all the houses in the world. what do people think when they dont say anything. where did that scratch on the floor come from.
There is so much out there that we dont know, and never will, and that stuff bothers me (in a good way). But what bothers me just a little bit more is the fact that people dont care. They think "who would want to know that anyway?" but imagine all the interesting answers there are.

-nods- Monika, I think we share a brain. I think about that kind of stuff all the time, but it seems as if nobody else does. Maybe, just maybe, people think about it, but think it's stupid, and are afraid to admit they do? Who knows, people these days can be uber morons =). ---Amanda----
