Enlightenment

Central station Stockholm. Rush hour. 5 minutes later he was gone...I had a thousand questions in my head. And a big, warm smile in my face.

Well, why not? If he was lucky he did manage to calm down but otherwise he at least gave all the commuters something to smile, think, talk and flickr about.

maybe he froze time... as most people in these places only commute and don't really stop to pay attention to the next person next to you... to the sounds... to the rhythm of our society.

Amazing capture of a moment in time. I wish I had this guy's ability to concentrate and mediate in a wild, crazy place as this. He looks so peaceful (in a suit too!), oblivious to everything around him.

It feels great to instantly recognize this imagery. Here we are, mundane living, warped and stuck to our ways - suddenly, least expected, someone reminds us even though everything exists in an endless motion we ourselves are motionless when we let go.

And I was thinking it was staged (by you)… Well moment captured in the stream it is! A bumped little space with the quarks and electrons- shifted outer orbit in the lattice of everyday (predictable?) reality.

and he is cool to do some meditation there in the rush hour - nice reminder for the rushing people, that there is also another way to do "it"...
