It's Time

Forcing, pushing, pulling. This is the way of our world. Little cough? Here is a drug. Doesn't work? Here is another drug. Why? Because you have to get well now. There is no time to heal, must get on with it. Tired? Have a coffee. Doesn't work? Here is a Red Bull. Why? Because you have to keep going, the work never ends. The deadlines await. Go! Run! Sprint! Must get there! 

Don't you know the mind does better in a relaxed state? Don't you know a little rest and a little laughter makes the body let go of the illness and the fatigue and become alive again? Don't you know you cannot add to that which is already full? Don't you know that there is no need to rush to a destination that has no real value in the end? Don't you know that the rain falls when it's time and stops when it's time? 

Can we have a little more patience and a little more compassion and a little more fun while we go through this maze we have found ourselves in? We can push ahead through all of our lives while losing our life. Because life doesn't happen in our minds. Because life happens in our being and us being a being.
