In The Present

Time is always in a race

Against itself.

The more it tries to win

The faster it becomes

Until you can't focus on anything

But the Race.

You learn to be

A person living in the future.

Trust yourself.

Slow down.

Breath.

Take in the moment.

Reach.

Live in the Present.

It's always there

And you'll always succeed in finding it.

And you'll find that life in the present

Is the only way to live

A happy Life.

This lesson is more important in today's world than any other I think. In an age where people can live much longer than any other time people are still dying too young from pushing themselves so hard. I hope people take heart from what you've shared here, and slow down a bit. Everyone can use some play to go along with their work. Good piece.

Yes, I truly agree with you. All of my life, I've been doing nothing but rushing things to get everything done and over with. It was until the time I got my son, that's when I started to learn to slow down and enjoy every seconds as much as I could.

Anyway, this is a really good writing on explaining how to slow down in the poetry way...

I like the way your words of encouragement come out like that with one word phrases. It had a good flow to it and it was really enjoybale.

Well written. It makes me think of how I wonder if I'm one of the few people who realizes that a moment is special and won't last forever...while it is happening. It's a great feeling but also sad at the same time knowing that it can't last forever.

As always, great job sis!
