It's Friday and I am very happy, but I crashed this morning. After a long week sometimes you just need a break and mine couldn't wait til Saturday. So I woke up not feeling so well and I couldn't peel myself out of bed. I wrote a poem about being busy a couple years ago and since then I've found that some of the things that I was too busy to do, like exercising, reading and meditating, are the only things that can keep me going and sane. So why do we sometimes give up what we need most because we are "too busy"?
I haven't the time to read my scriptures
rushing off to sleep
to bed
to ready
myself
for another day
I'm very busy you see
very busy, I think to myself
as I watch TV and check my email and eat dinner
I have pages of lists of things that I must
"to do" soon
They're numbered and lettered, but
everything is a 1A
I'm busy you see
so busy in fact that I only read when
I walk
or talk while I clean
and yet nothing is ever as clean or
read or walked or talked as it should
be.
I'm busy
There are a lot of things that I should
do, that I would do if only I could
find Time.
But I'm ever so busy, too busy in fact
to finish this poem . . .
