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
