Pause: Chill out Learning to Walk with the Elephants

Why the constant rush,

how did this begin?

Who was the mastermind,

behind the scenes

who created this?

Maybe some funny

prankster lit a candle,

decided it would be

fun to chase us,

with it under our butt.

Or possibly it began,

as the old saying goes,

"Birds of a feather

flock together."

That one frantic bird,

told all the other birds

on the playground,

it was a good thing to do:

to hurry and rush,

just like a chicken

without its head.

Let's have none of that!

We listen to the tune

of our own drum.

We own our choices,

march at our own pace;

we create our serenity.

No need to flock as birds,

or run with the chickens;

we are not drafted into

service; it is our choice.

Gently turn around,

blow out that candle,

then pause...

step to the side,

chill out inside,

just let everyone pass.

Because life is pretty

darn sweet when we

get off the highway,

and learn to

walk with the elephants.

Cheers!
