Today, I decided to walk back to my house the long way round, through the park to make the most of the sunshine. You never know when you'll next see it, so it's best to catch it while you can.
Everyone obviously had the same idea as me. There were people everywhere; walking, sun bathing, playing football. The kid's park was rammed!
Naturally, on my stole, my thoughts wondered all over the place and I got to noticing all the things I could see. It started off with a lamp post. It was one of those ones which looks really old fashioned, like it should have a real flame in it at night, but you know it's really a fake, 'in keeping with the surroundings.' You know the ones. Someone designed that deliberately to have in that exact place, next to Bath's Royal Crescent.
In fact, everything I could see was designed by someone; the clothes people were wearing, the cars parked up, the posters on show, the bandstand, the dog leads, the playground equipment, even the way the flowers were arranged. Everything. It's all designed by someone and then redesigned by someone else.
Look around you now, wherever you are. I bet most things you can see were designed to be a certain way. Even the devise you're reading this on.
I don't know about you, but that blows my mind! We don't even think about it, but actually everything has a designer....
I wonder what they're like. Where do they live? Do they like their job? How did they get into it?
In fact even the objects themselves have a story. Where were they made? Who by? Where were they sold?How did they get here now...?
If everything is designed everything has a designer. Everything has a story.
Just a thought...
