Slow Dance

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun
into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask
How are you?
Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"

You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Have been taking time to just live life in the real world,
which has meant occasional short disappearances from the blogging world...

So apologies for that short hiatus, it's been an intense, fruitful, interesting, eventful, challenging, meaningful, and fulfilling time. Many experiences shared, many lessons learnt... good ones, difficult ones, and much stepping out of comfort zones. May they never be forgotten...

On the other hand, I am falling deeper into debt... a very deep *sleep debt*. And the way things are going, it doesn't look like I'll be repaying it anytime soon either. Dark rings and eyebags have become quite constant companions in my life :)

It's all quite general and vague here, there's so much to say, I don't quite know where to start, haha. Will try to post more detailed updates soon... I promise :)
