Haiku – Wearing Thin

Save your sneaker soles
When life begins to wear thin
Find your Soul Ground

~

Instead of running. Slow down.

Instead of jumping ahead. Step aside.

Instead of doing. Find a seat.

Change your pace in life.

Take time to pause.

Breathe fully and slowly from the center of your being.

Open up to your Soul ground.

    That reminds me of this:

    Slow down
    You move too fast
    You gotta make the morning last
    Kicking down the cobblestones
    Looking for fun and feeling GROOVY! 😀

    I work hard all week, I spend one day a weekend on errands and “have to’s” and the last day is mine to dream, sleep, imagine, and wonder.

    Just taking the time to read the list is refreshing, Val. I think stepping out of the way is my favorite. 🙂
