"a life as complicated as everyone else's,
struggling for balance, juggling time."
Sounds oh so familiar, doesn't it?
Keeping a slower pace requires effort.
Why is that? Shouldn't it make life easier?
In my experience, it does not.
"Each day we must learn again how to love
between morning's quick coffee and
evening's slow return."
I love this line and the truth it conveys.
Love can fall off the rails so quickly,
thank goodness it as often bounces right back.
"We'll never get there, time is always ahead of us,
running down the beach, urging us on faster, faster.
Such a relentless master, merciless and unyielding.
Yet
"sometimes we take off our watches, lie in the hammock
caught between the mesh of rope, and the net of stars,
suspended, tangled up in love, running out of time."
It's possible to ignore time, for a time...
to counter its constant pull
with soft, firm resistance and stay still.
To acknowledge reality;
yet maintain your own rhythm.
Isn't it possible to collaborate with time
and not be constantly driven by it?
Namaste'
