I was just a Hilton Head this past weekend for a student ethics conference. It was beautiful there. They have ordinances on the island which limit advertising and the height of road signs and such. It could be irritating when trying to find your way around; however, the world looked remarkably less cluttered because of it. It looked much more like the world and less like my junk drawer. Sometimes I think that the city, with all of the flashy signs and buildings looks a lot like a pretty woman with gaudy makeup- blue eye shadow and all. You can't see the beauty that was meant to be seen because it has been covered up by unnecessary things. Overall, it was a lovely weekend.

This description is amazing, Lindsay! You are definitely correct. I must admit, I'm definitely a city lover. But seeing the world as it is-- on its own, I mean, without man-made things tainting it-- puts everything in an entirely new perspective.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite random, but I'm currently watching Cake Boss at 2:03 in the morning, and this guy who wants a cake apparently beleives that he's a knight. He brought a sword as a threat to the workers who wouldn't let him talk to Buddy because he didn't have a formal appointment. Ok, some people truly need to get out more...

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. Totally haven't seen that Cake Boss yet. We watch that show regularly. Love.
ReplyDeleteLindsay, I love the way you used the comparison of gaudy makeup--such a good visual. Hope you had a wonderful time.
