Look up and see

I remember the first time I looked up while walking in the street. I was a kid, in my hometown of Recife, and I noticed some numbers at the very top of an old building. 1908. The year of the construction.

Most people look down when walking. They spend their lives looking at the floor when they should be looking up to the tall buildings, the historical curiosities, the birds flying above our heads. Looking up taught me to see.
