Walk, Don't Run

Walk, don't run

Meander, don't look for the shortcut

There is so much to see, do, and experience

Under the sun

Touch the grass

Let the dewdrops coat your skin

Don't be afraid to slow right down

Take delight

Enjoy your food

Don't just see it as a race

The finish will be better

When reached slowly

Actually listen

(note to myself, as much as anyone else)

Don't waste time always speaking

Mouth closed, ears open

Savour the losses and the gains

Tribute the happiness and the pain

Weather the storm

Learn the lessons

Live well

Life is a series of unfortunate events

And some truly memorable, magical ones

Don't forget

Don't run, walk.
