Cannot See for the Signs
“” Sign, sign – Everywhere a sign -Blockin’ out the scenery – Breakin’ my mind – Do this, don’t do that – Can’t you read the sign?” These lyrics come from the song released in 1970 by Five Man Electrical Band. They’re just as relevant today as then: road signs, directions, traffic lights, warnings, pedestrian crossings, billboards, speed cameras…add orange pile-ons and construction barriers to the mix and you’ve got a signage jungle that is visually overwhelming and barely navigable. It’s no wonder your brain seeks escape by looking for the horizon, space, expanse – release from this clutter. If you take this further, it’s not only your eyes that need the rest but “all of you” looking for clarity, purity, simplicity. Get off the busy highway and take the grassy path. You’ll see much more ease and magical vistas going this way.”
To your Happiness,
