Ramble

There has to be a time to take a break, to just walk for the pleasure of walking, its in these moments that we open our eyes to things around us, we notice objects and patterns in the area around us that we didn't see before because we are to busy walking from a to b, resenting the journey rather then enjoying as a moment to think.

I started to notice things on the way home that i never noticed before, most things that are man made have someones personality behind them, they put themselves in their work, from the design of a house, to advertisement billboards and even graffiti.



I have noticed how most people, for instance people on the bus, are lost in their own thoughts, distant from everyone else, looking through the window into their own little world.

Looking at the 1000 journals project it is amazing how many are doing it, putting their thoughts to paper, in a growing journal traveling around the world, more then a thousand of them now due the new 1001 project were people can now submit their own journals and send them around to others. This allows you to see the thoughts of other people, it is a medium for people to put their creativity, their thoughts to paper.

A journal is like a release for creativity, primal and unaltered thought. It allows people, especially adults, to put their thoughts down without criticism, the project allows them to do the same, but not just keeping it to themselves but show it to others, and taking comfort that thousands of people are doing the same.
