Faster Faster
•
lay down your weight
put down your worry
slow down your pace
cease with your hurry
soon you will get there
life rushes by
you wonder when
so harder you try
to fill up what’s empty
as faster you fly
wondering when…
who’s wondering why

I got teary-eyed thinking about how right you are. Thanks so much Mr. Kistner.
I need to post your poem on my bathroom mirror and read it out loud daily to remind myself to slow down…very sage advice you give!
The story of so many lives. Well said.
How true! this should be the mantra to everyone…we need to take the time ‘stand and stare’.
Wonderful advise beautifully written.
Yeah, it’s just not worth it to hurry through life. Well said!
but maybe you’re already there!
Beautifully written, it takes the voice of experience to make this message read so simply – this is something we all need to hear – I for one am listening.
A.R. –
Your words are kind — I’m pleased you were touched… 😉

I appreciate your visits — and I need to do the same thing, so I don’t forget myself in this chaotic world… 🙂

It is so easy to be consumed by the pace of life that is constantly thrust in our face — soon we become numb 🙁 to the beauty and wondrous experience of living and breathing in this amazing world… 😉

Keith –
Tank you — always nice to see you visit… 😉

Linda –
Thank you for you visits, I am honored. 😉
A full life is achieved by expanding each precious experiential moment — rushing frantic and frazzled does not allow for that expansion, and thereby steals from us that fullness…

Floreta –
Very astute realization! 😉
There is no maybe about it — we are already there… and this may well be all there is? But whether this is or is not all there is — missing any or all of this miracle because we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed and consumed, is truly a tragedy… 🙁

STG –
Thank you… 😉
We all miss this message from time to time, certainly I am included in that group — what is important is to remind ourselves, as often as possible, that we are surrounded by, and living in, an amazing wonder…
