Each moment matters

Everything moves, the noises become ubiquitous.
But then, something changes.
Everything stops. There is silence.
Momentary peace floods my heart.
A second of restfulness enters my body.
Enjoy the change, the stop, the silence.

Everything moves, the movement becomes comfortable.
It leads to productivity and the days hurry on.
But then theres a moment of disruption and the day must slow.
The disruption is a gift, a moment to notice, to look around.
An opportunity to see and feel the things you have been missing
Enjoy the gift, the feelings, the observation.

Everything moves, people are on the go.
Your driver will arrive in 3 minutes
A non stop option is only $35 more
We have found a quicker route for you
I know a shortcut
Why is this person driving so slow?
Come on, hurry up.

Everything moves, and we want it to move faster.
But what if instead, we moved slower?
What if we walked instead of ran and got to see the buildings around us we've never noticed before?
What if we drove slower and looked around, discovering the places we've never been but know we will love?
What if we walked with our heads up and noticed the people around us, giving them a smile or a word?
What if we learned that each moment is precious,
Each moment is unique and worth celebrating,
Each moment matters.

So don't miss it,
Don't go so fast that you miss the beauty before you,
Dont rush through it that you miss the gift,
Dont hurry on that you leave behind the value of it all.
The people, the places, the world God created for us to see and say " it is good. "

Tidal wave

When depression comes in waves It doesn’t just crash at my feet It barrels over like a tidal wave And clouds all that I see As it...
