Something some book-lover's need to realise...

And something I noticed today.

When I'm on the bus heading to Uni, I am either on my phone playing a game or more often than not, reading a book. It's a great time to immerse yourself in some literature and take yourself away to some far off land for adventures.

But today, I forgot my book. *GASP* so instead of playing on my phone, I looked out the bus windows and watched the world go by. Here is a list of things I noticed:

1. The streams were actually full of water from the rains, for a change. In Australia, we have alot of very dry weather; this year, it isn't even Winter yet and the creeks are full.
2. New interesting houses are being built near the city, more townhouses and apartment buildings as well. Architecturally interesting buildings with more curves than straight lines.
3. The birds were out in abundance today, from ducks to pigeons to doves. All seemed happy at the blue sky after a rain storm that completely saturated the ground.
4. I did not bring my camera and I am not happy about it...

So my question is this, do some people get so absorbed in the beauty of the written word that they forget there is an entire world out there, brimming with life and feeling and beauty, ripe for experiencing? I know I have been so absorbed in a book before that I have missed my bus, or been late to school, or have "wasted" away the day in my room with my bedside light...

Just something to think about.

Goodnight reader! xox
