human again

The other day I walked past a patch of flowers, when the sky was clearing up from a recent storm.  I walked close enough by them that I could actually smell them, a sweet smell, similar to rosemary.  I actually thought how about being able to detect the scent of those flowers and to appreciate it made me feel different from a machine.

I feel like a machine so often: booting up early in the morning, running around the day with the schedule pre-programmed into me, picking up new information and trying to be as efficient as I can.

It's too easy to become an automaton and too easy to easy to get wrapped up in your work, studies, obligations.  I personally don't feel like I have enough free time, but I also enjoy what I do.  If only we had more moments built into our day where we could relax and appreciate the things in life that make you different from a computer.
