Often there is an urgency in the things we all try to achieve without the thought of ever just stopping to take a breath and take in the fresh ocean or mountain air circling us as we stride through the avenue of life that awaits those who take the time to just be.
Then you notice the things you have forgotten to even begin to see till it is just beyond your peripheral vision without a question you wonder further if it is possible to just turn a dial on time and let it come back to that one moment for you to admire it ones more.
Then you wonder even more of the slowness it becomes when you do take the time to pause and reflect the mind playing tricks on your sanity while at the same time you wonder about vanity and how tanking the time to pause is the cause of this delay in gratification in the end bringing you satisfaction.
Often you sweat out effort for the dreams and goals you hold tightly in your minds hand reaching out to the destination or golden goose only to see the reaching action lets go of the dream or goal slipping into despair you think back of how a simple pause could've saved the hand from loosening.
In the end we all think back long and hard into the abyss that are all of our mines as deep as a vast cavern of dark uncertainty without a light to guide you if you fail to pause just so you can have time to think of what you need into a journey you have not prepared to do to begin with.
Someone tells you preparing is ensuring you are not preparing to fail as in doing so you are at the peak of your preparedness even though the time it takes to be at that state seems like there are no progress to begin with and no steps to move forward into that deep deep journey.
Adieu my friends...
The music I listened to while writing this poem
Drop in say hello.
