Yet its so easy to slow down for a few minutes, suck in the moment of sheer joy and be able to recharge the batteries of life.

The quality of the musicians in the NYC subway is very high. My favorit is the 'Saw Lady' (http://www.sawlady.com/blog) who plays classical music on a musical saw. There are Juilliard graduates playing in the subway and others who are very talented. But - of course if I'm late for an appointment I regret that I don't have the luxury of stopping to listen.
