A whimsical observation. If uncertain read it slowly lol. :-)


I am a slow man...

life is too fast for me
i need to spend time with people
i want us to have time to breathe
i can not just say hello in passing
so awkward the quick email reply
i struggle with life's superficiality
i guess i am not equipped
with a hollow mind.

"What is this life so full of care
There is no time to stand and stare"
From Liesure by HW longfellow
May not be the exact words but u get the picture...
I've always been ridiculed for being an amazingly slow eater...
It's better to be a dreamer than a superficial, hollow faat paced modern man...

it is though you have read the deep corners of my heart...life passes by so quickly...we hardly even touch what is of value it seems..i long for something more
poignant, especially so at this time of year.

taking the time to enjoy a moment, a person, a time, a feeling is where the good things are. Wisdom is wealth
