Life in High Definition
I heard someone on the radio today tell the story of a man who he’d helped rediscover the reality of life, the idea of living each moment. This man was simply told to take time, to go for a walk and relax, to look around, be aware of senses, the smells and the “High Definition” of the place where he stood and the world round about him. The result was him realizing he had walked down the same street for years and never noticed the different colour of the houses, the trees, the birds singing, even the smells in the air. His response was “where have I been??”
The chap on the radio said that this man had felt detached from life because he had been so caught up in the day to day, the business of business, the effort of “being stressed” or in a hurry for an appointment, that he’d missed the world around him.
Sky Television are constantly playing advertisements for their HD channels, or High definition as a better experience of every programme; makes you think what steps we should take to view real life right now, each moment, each second in a “High Definition” state.
It’s another weekend with the opportunity to communicate better, to take time for you, to tell someone you love them more today than yesterday, to open your eyes and ears and senses to the world around you – and notice it. Life in High Definition is possible, regardless of your Television settings or Sky package.

I heard the broadcast Rodger, and while I was listening to it, it just sounded so familiar, as if I was in with Stevie Kidd. So many similarities with what Steve advises, during the meetings, or even during one off visits. I am starting to think he has a bit
of Buddhism in him. I would advise anyone who missed it to listen to the Chris Evans Podcast for the 19/03

This is so true. There are many every day things that we seem to do in auto pilot and not realise that it may very well be the last time we do it because we take so many people and things for granted. Taking the time to look closer is the one and only way we
will remember the good things when they are gone. LA Hamilton
