As Time Slips By

Time slips by
Seems like a lazy day
But nothing gets done

Sometimes the mind needs the solitude
The body needs the rest
The soul needs rejuvenating

But when too many days slip by
And a pattern becomes established
Our drive seems to diminish

The motivation we once had
The  goals and projects
Get put on hold way too long

We know what we should do
We have all the answers
But we struggle to take them to heart

We start to feel the loneliness
Depression starts leering at us
We sink deeper and deeper

But before we go down that road
We need to look up and look out
Escape the walls of our mind

See that we'er not alone
See the beauty around us
Surround ourselves with others

For without the human connection
Without the touch of intimacy
We tend to stay inside our walls

We need to feel the sun on our face
The grass beneath our feet
And see God's beauty all around us

Sure the mind needs the solitude
The body needs the rest
The soul needs rejuvenating

Take that day and enjoy it
Savor it with your whole being
Let it refresh you

Them move on to the next adventure
Turn the corner to an unexpected experience
And live moment by moment to a life fulfilled


and the Journey Continues.......
