Too Busy
So busy doing, there’s no time for being.
So busy living, there’s no thought of dying.
So busy thinking, there’s no mindfulness.
So distracted, there’s no concentra2on.
So distraught, there’s no freedom here.
So disaffected, there’s no space for seeing.
So tense with worry, there’s no calm abiding.
So tried by fear, there’s no peace within.
So 2red through busy-ness, no rest for me.
I wake up. I grow up. I remember life’s purpose.
I live into this moment, less distracted, more calm.
I no2ce the beauty, the goodness, the truth
that embraces me, kisses me, when I let go –
of busyness, tenseness, fear and worry.
Let go to remember the space and the freedom
that’s promised to those who live Loving,
and love Living today.
