“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Another place that I find beautiful is here on Thomas More's campus. I think that many people take it for granted and do not realize the true beauty that lies on this campus. If you just take a minute and appreciate what we have here, I think that some people would be amazed by not realizing it before. For example we have the chapel with the stained glass windows. These depictions on the window illustrate some of the biblical stories and saints. The windows themselves are beautiful not including the rest of the chapel. The finishing touches top off the beauty of the chapel. There are many other things about this campus that are beautiful. It is a very peaceful campus and I think that the peacefulness adds to the beauty. Also there is the very nice track and football facility. Most people do not think twice about the landscaping, but if you actually pay attention, you notice the dedication and effort that is put into making this campus welcoming and beautiful. People generally take for granted what they have and do not appreciate the beauty around them. There is more beauty to this small campus than most people realize. You just have to pay attention to your surroundings, then you will see the beauty that surrounds you.
