Clearly the importance of pausing and enjoying, was with me in August 2018 as I wrote about this a few times. No matter the moment, be present for oneself and those in your life. Immerse oneself and treat yourself with generosity.
I know the world is turning yet around me it’s as if it’s not
Life has got much slower like I’m standing on a dot
I can hear the background noises; the frenzy all about
Yet for me, it’s all slow motion; bringing the future into doubt.
I hear the buzz of bumblebees; the drone of dragonflies as well
I see the flutter of the butterflies with their colours of pastel
I hear the tinkle of the wind chimes; lightly making sound
I am caught in the moment with beauty all around.
I am deaf to the clock beside me, and the ticking sound that it makes
There is no sense of urgency and no need for taking breaks
I can feel my heart beating, a quiet pulse of passing time
Yet in this moment of quiet, there is nothing more sublime.
I turn and look about me; into the face of a loved one near
She is now my only focus as she speaks into my ear
I feel what she is saying; hear the passion of her soul
We’re sharing a special moment; our hearts are in control.
Being in the moment is spiritual purity; special in every way
Such moments are awe inspiring; even when they happen every day
What’s amazing is we choose to miss them in the rush to keep in time
I have come to appreciate the moment; the answer to life’s rhyme.
