Perception: Something to think about.
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.
The questions raised:
In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?Do we stop to appreciate it?Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made.
How many other things are we missing?

Little Orange Riding Hood

Little Orange Riding Hood


Ate Chera, Manong Geo and Ajani came over yesterday to spend time with and babysit Ava last night so that Jerome and I could finally go out without having to run errands. This was our first date/outing since a week before Ava was born, 13 weeks ago!  Our “date” was short and sweet. We checked out Upperplayground which had artist Weirdo’s paintings up. I’d buy if I had money to spare. Then we ended up walking down a block to Thai Tom’s for some too-spicy-for-being-1 star-food.  I couldn’t help but worry about whether my daughter was hungry or not and if she was screaming her head off. (because a 12 week old who refuses a bottle and pacifiers and is exclusively breastfed is difficult to leave) Luckily she was asleep most of the time. Jerome and I still have our relationship in tact, thank goodness. And I still feel like a human, being out in the public sans baby.

Rocking my cutie pie to sleep. Happy 12 weeks babygal!
