Directions

Which way to turn?
down a small country road
that passes pastoral beauty
and makes you sigh just
because you can breathe deep
and hold a silly smile...
and feel wonder like a child?

Or that fast lane
that promises exhilarating
speed, pedal pushed steadily
down..feeling like a race car driver
a grin plastered to your face
and the wind making hair
tornadoes as it enters
your open window?

I would rather have to stop for
cows crossing the street,
then sit in traffic
because someone thought
they could break the sound barrier
and brought the world and themselves to a halt.

A slow and steady cruise
through life, not acting like a
passing fool, in a hurry to get nowhere.


My mother used to drive me mad
as a teenager..driving exactly the speed limit
and being passed constantly.
Her reply? " why hurry? They will
all be waiting at the traffic light
when I arrive."
And she was right, they were.
It has taken me a long time to
accept her advice on patience.

Impatience for the most part does
not pay off.
I will get where I need to go just
by doing the right thing and
steadily moving forward.

I'm not that interesting

Average...not overly talented or cutting edge...so what gives? Mobile safari android, and mobile safari I phone....what is the attraction? I'd really like to know.
