Listen as you read:
It really is a rush-around life we all live
and there is this constant fear of being left behind as limited time and high
speed become prime concerns for our living and succeeding. That's a
self-destruct programme for sure, resulting in loss of peace and stillness in
the process .
We are hardly aware of what we are doing to
ourselves..
Our dancing is so often jive when the music is waltz !
This might be of some help to you
....
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kidsOn a merry-go-round?Or listened to the rainSlapping on the ground?Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?You better slow down.Don't dance so fast.Time is short.The music won't last.Do you run through each dayOn the fly?When you ask: "How are you? "Do you hear the reply?When the day is doneDo you lie in your bedWith the next hundred choresRunning through your head?You'd better slow downDon't dance so fast.Time is short.The music won't last.Ever told your child,We'll do it tomorrow?And in your haste,Not see his sorrow?Ever lost touch,Let a good friendship dieCause you never had timeTo call and say,"hi"You'd better slow down.Don't dance so fast.Time is short.The music won't last.When you run so fast to get somewhereYou miss half the fun of getting there.When you worry and hurry through your day,It is like an unopened gift....Thrown away.Life is not a race.Do take it slowerHear the musicBefore the song is over.
