Any of these words describe our day?

Present, awareness, focused, patience, stillness, calm, restful, quiet, meditative, spiritual, peaceful, without resistance, relaxed…joyful.

Any of these words describe our daily lives? Or even a part or a moment? Sometimes?

They could be always, or certainly more often, if we choose it. If we stop fighting what is, accept it, deal with situations as they arise and remain calm and present now instead of projecting problems that haven’t occurred.

The opposite of the words above, that are most people’s frantic days, comes from resisting what is, from the struggle against it.

Tick-tock

Our life with a clock
Tick-tock
Every minute
Tick-tock
Every hour
Tick-tock
Every day
Tick-tock
Always with our clock

Time for this
Tick-tock
Time for that
Tick-tock
Time for work
Tick-tock
Time for bed
Tick-tock
We can never seem to escape the clock

Time everywhere
Tick-tock
Yet we never have enough
Tick-tock
Time the myth
Tick-tock
Perhaps it’s time to stop the clock
