Look up and you'll be in awe 忙中有餘抬頭仰望天空吧

"On your way" somewhere should not be rushed, remember to look up and enjoy the view.

I’m on my way to the metro station, I’m on my way to work, I’m on my way home, I’m on my way to yoga, I’m on my way to grab some quick groceries to cook for dinner, I’m on my way to meet a friend, I’m on my way… There are so many times a day when I am on my way to go do something — sometimes I’m entrenched in the thoughts I was having just before heading somewhere; sometimes I’m thinking about what I am going to do afterward. “On my way” becomes the time in between, the time you desperately want to reduce, because it doesn’t seem to be the main goal.

And then I look up.

— sometimes it’s the symmetry

— sometimes it’s the color

— sometimes it’s the combination of color and symmetry

Time really slows down in the moments when I look up.

You must’ve felt it too — when the sky is blue and you can’t help but smile; when you see sunshine on the wall of a building and you realize the sun is shining its warmth on your face too. Or the cloud is in a shape you think you can recognise and your inner curiosity starts pondering what it could be. Or the feeling of surprise when you catch the sunset that day without planning for it and instinctively you just want to pull out your camera and capture the moment. Or if you’re in a city like Hong Kong, then you’ll see skyscrapers with massive windows that reflect the color of the sky. Perhaps your city is located near a mountain, and you can see the mountain tops in the distance. Or it’s the shimmering lights of massive apartment buildings late at night that catches your eye — what a common view in Hong Kong. Even better — if you’re in a more historical city you may see shrines, temples, cathedrals, synagogues, churches, or mosques with glamorous structures that lasted hundreds and hundreds of years.

If you can’t recall feeling those moments yourself then you’ve certainly seen it on someone’s Instagram story — nature’s beauty and even man-made architectures leave us humans in awe. And the cool thing is, you can feel that awe intentionally, anytime. Anytime you’re on the way anywhere, just look up from your phone. And feel it. Feel the moment.

Please comment and share the little beauty that you’ve seen in your surrounding lately when you look up!

在都市裡生活的我總是不斷地從一個地方趕到下一個地方。我不是在回家的路上，就是在去工作的路上、或是去健身房做瑜伽的路上、抑或是去找朋友的路上、不然就是去超市買菜的路上。當我在途中時，常常腦海裡想著剛剛在做的事，或是等一下要做的事情；趕來趕去，好像恨不得可以瞬間移動，因為在路上的時候根本不是自己主要想做的事情。而當我不經意抬頭時——

我看到高樓大廈的對稱感。

我也看到天空湛藍的顏色。

香港好美的建築物與好藍的天～

連人在大型商場裡我也看到讓人目不轉睛的燈光擺設。

而在看到的瞬間，時間好像停止了。

你應該也體會過吧？在看到藍天的時候原本鬱悶的心情就好了。或看到陽光溫暖地打在牆上，進而感覺到陽光打在自己的臉上的溫度。或是好奇心突然光臨，開始研究今天的雲朵長得像什麼。或是抬頭時剛好遇到那天的夕陽，真美，真想馬上拿出手機把它給拍下來。或是看到高樓大廈的窗戶反射天空的顏色，同時再看到遠方的山頂上的綠樹，以及遠處高樓在夜晚閃閃發光，更驚喜的是看著寺廟、教堂百年來歲月的痕跡也擋不住它驚人的美。

你倘若未曾關注這些抬頭即可看到的畫面，那你滑IG時也總該看過朋友分享過吧。大自然的景觀與人為的建築，處處充滿「美」。可以讓你無時無刻都可以體會讓時間暫停的奧妙！希望未來，你在路上可以不時的抬頭一看，暫時放棄手機一下子，用心去體會那「美」的瞬間。

期盼你也可以跟我一樣愛上抬頭看天空、看建築物⋯⋯即便再忙也要停下來看看周圍的風景！
