in a rush

how ... trite.

i find myself too busy for contemplations ~ that slow time of allowing the world to seep in, colors to be recognized, scents always here and all of a sudden noticed,

dialogue renewed.


i do not listen enough to the world and what it will tell me
when things get too rushed,
and life becomes too important.

so right now, right this moment ~

i'm going to sit back in my chair,
let it creak a bit
as the stretch, the calm pass through me,

and

listen.
