A man walks down the street in Bursa, Turkey, his gaze fixed on the ground. He chooses to look at the ground, and by doing so, he closes himself off to the outer world. There is a rainbow across the sky, a symbol of beauty that he fails to notice.

Life is neither in the weight of yesterday nor in the worry of tomorrow, but in the what we have today.
