Do you ever feel life just rush by

And you can’t keep up the pace?

It’s a constant swirl of activity

That’s just the human race…

The finish line is arbitrary

The rules are self-imparted

And even if you win the race

You forget just why you started.

Take a moment to just slow down

Take a breath for orientation

If you enjoy the people and the path

Then you’ve reached your destination.

It’s easy though to just forget

It’s human to go astray

Know that activity for activities sake

Will never be the way.

So keep checking your inner compass,

And re-find the path that’s true

When you take the time to just be still

That’s where you will find you.
