Searching

Today, we went to the Nazi Party Rally Grounds in Nuremberg.  The museum was interesting.  It showed the progression inside of Germany from 1921 to 1945, particularly in Nuremberg.  While I found the place very informative, today's most is not about the museum.

Actually, its about the trip to the museum.  After finding my aunt and party in a Starbucks in the middle of the city, we proceeded to the main train station and took the same train that we did earlier this week when we went to the pool.  While I was taking the trip the first time, I sat and thought about what I was looking at as we drove down the various roads.  At the time, I was searching the architecture.  The architecture and history from the old buildings have always fascinated me.

This time, I had a similar thought, and even began to start looking in a similar manner as I did the first time.  Then it caught my attention that I could do processes multiple times, but with different parameters.  I sometimes get caught inside my mind doing the same thing, and realize that I don't get near as much out of a process when I resort to what my mind defaults to, instead of keeping my mind with the process.  It also helps prevent me from slipping into the past or future thinking.

Now, as well as with beginning to see art and what effects it has on me, I will start seeing how I might be able to do something as simple as driving down the road and viewing the scenery but keeping my mind active and in the moment.
