The Hustle and Bustle

“How are you doing?”… (sigh)… “Busy”… we hear and say it all the time Wearing our busyness as a badge of honor while stuck in the grind Why are we are always moving like we have somewhere else to be Perpetually pushing forward as the world swirls under our feet We constantly craft our calendars only to arrive at those moments To realize our happiness is still lacking the necessary components Constantly spinning our wheels without stopping to ask our destination Maybe it is time to consider updating our mode of transportation Swapping the future for the present to stop scheduling and lean into today Savoring the slices of life that are on our plate right now that will soon go away Realizing that joy already resides closer to home than we think But make sure to catch it though since it will be gone in a blink
