So driven by the need to get things done
That minutes of the day like lightning pass,
So speedily the sands of Time seem gone,
Sunken into a swirling, wild morass,
All efforts wrought with meaningful intent
Often performed at person’s grievous cost,
Appears to be vitality misspent,
Issuing in a sense of being lost;
With care, perceive the beat of Nature’s heart,
Which panders not to every fleeting whim,
Nor frets at whatsoever might depart,
But hums her pre-ordained consistent hymn;
Serenity descends on those who wait,
She nourishes profound contented state.

wow I swear you wrote this with me in mind. My weekend can be summed by your exquisite poem. Time passed too fast for me so I toiled late into the night and now I am at work with one eye open! Still I got a lot of great writing and editing done and I walked 17 miles π so I’d say I accomplished a lot. Still, there were a dozen things I had not time to pursue π¦ I hope your weekend was productive!

you’re welcome π I actually did most of the editing while walking. π An app read my MS to me and I stopped it to make corrections on MS Word. handy things these phones, they let you multitask. Still yes, it was a tiring weekend. Someday I will not have to squeeze 7 days of writing/editing into my weekend. But not today. So I’ll get back to my day job!
