Mayberry

Sometimes it feels like this world is spinning faster
Than it did in the old days
So naturally we have more natural disasters
From the strain of a fast pace


Sunday was the day of rest
Now its one more day for progress
And we can't slow down
Cause more is best
It's all an endless process


Amen to that! These words just ring truer and truer every day. I think part of my having an old soul is that I can't understand the need to rush. Nothing about being frantic is appealing or desirable to me. You get as much work done as you do and there is nothing else that can be done. You can't go back in time and add things so why rush through the now to get to the then, especially if it means you're just going to look back and wonder how you spent your time away.

It's easy to say that from the seat I sit in now. I realize that. My health, safety, and well being don't depend on getting as much done in as little time as possible. Time is not equal to money.

It kills me when we miss life moments with each other, with strangers, and even intrapersonal moments because we "feel" rushed. Who is rushing us? Why can't we take back our sense of time and priority? If the hustle and bustle are what get you jazzed up, trust there is no judgement on my part. However, some people are dying (figuratively and literally) because they can't keep up with the rate at which we are shoving the momentum of the earth forward. Don't even let me get started on how our pace has effected mother earth.

So this weekend (or when ever your scheduled time off is) sit down, relax, sit outside if you can brave the heat or just open the curtains/blinds on a window, kick your feet up, treat yourself to some cherry coke/stevia infused tea/etc, and enjoy being a part of the natural pace of the earth moving around you.

Cheers!



Well I miss Mayberry
Sitting on the porch drinking ice cold Cherry --- Coke
Where everything is black and white
Picking on a Six String
Where people pass by and you call them by their first name
Watching the clouds roll by
bye bye

The best is yet to come,
