Perfect Tempo … ( 04 / 23 / 2012 )
“ Slow down , you move too fast . You got to make the mornin ’ last . Just skippin ’ down the cobblestones , Lookin ’ for fun & feelin ’ groovy .” ~ Simon & Garfunkel
It can be a crazy world -- lots to do , obligations to fulfill , bills to pay , relationships to tend … At times it can feel somewhat overwhelming .
That ’ s why it is even more important to remember to pause regularly and BE IN THIS MOMENT . And there is no better way to do so than to slow down for just a few seconds & look around for someone who could use a Kind word or a gentle smile ; for some Good Deed that is being left undone . Saying that word or giving that smile or doing that deed is what will bring you back to your Life .
Rest assured , when you have reached your End & are looking back on your time here , the “ fun ” you had might make you smile and the work you did might make you proud , and yet it is the small acts of Kindness that you shared along the way that will make you truly Happy — it is only the times when you slowed down to help the downtrodden that will allow you to feel ready to finally Go .
So , with all due respect to Paul & Art , let ’ s change their lyrics just a bit , … and then let ’ s get out there and LIVE THEM .
“ Slow down , you move too fast … You ’ ve got to make the moment last . Just flowin ’ down the cobblestones … Lookin ’ to LOVE & feelin ’ groovy .”
