introduction

A moment of tranquility, a message from anyone to everyone! This is a visual collage of what happens when time freezes and you gain complete consciousness through tranquility. Often we lose our appreciation of time and keep grumbling about the insignificant annoyances around us, failing to enjoy the moment. An opportunity to experience tranquility is squandered, just because we are careless or impatient. Perhaps it is modern society that has killed our inner tranquility. Peace, patience and respect are replaced with mass transit, deadlines and fast food wrappers. However, the feat needed to stay sane in such a world is the ability to grasp those tranquil moments. We should look to skateboarders or freestyle walkers as inspiration. They view the common urban landscape in a way that the general public cannot. A handrail that is rarely even touched by a pedestrian becomes a balance beam for a 50-50 grind, a repeated challenge that can last hours, days, weeks or minutes, but ultimately results in inner-peace and satisfaction. We too must use our daily surroundings to find this peace and tranquility.

Tranquility is soundless, which amplifies all of our senses. Imagine, a world that is free from disturbance. It would be a world of beautiful connections between people and nature and city. We can try to contemplate a matter by putting ourselves in a tranquility moment. But, not all matters can be solved by tranquility. However we would get something by using the tranquility's perspective, and would be surprised by it.
