MY SURROUNDINGS
I am surrounded by brick on two sides and a window, in front of me with a newspaper. A pillar was behind me and sun on one side. A bird has made his home close to me. There are two birds that I know of one perched on a little ledge and one in the nest. They are beautiful birds yellow and black with a hint of red on it’s tail. Right now it’s hiding his head under his wing. People walk to and from the building I am sitting by. I hear a bird’s song and cars going by. I also hear a leaf clattering by on the sidewalk. A clock chimes two and a cigerette lays nearby among bird droppings. A little black bug skitters by and I am starting to wonder if there are babies in the nest. The air smells musty, and the wood planks above me look red and burned. Two lights hang right above me. The sun shines forming a half circle. The bird’s song above me is so beautiful. The height from the floor to the ceiling is probably 12 feet. Three steps bring people to my level and a NO SMOKING sign hangs nearby. I noticed all of these in a few minutes and it taught me what you notice if you slow down and are aware of your surroundings.
