Hurry, Hurry
Although today, I felt at great ease, I did however, notice people around me in a great hurry. Rushing here and there, past me in a whirlwind to some unknown destination. And I wondered just why they were making such haste. Perhaps it is due to the impending holiday and they have procrastinated a bit too long for that special gift. Maybe it's because they are absent-minded and have forgotten that the malls and roads are crowded beyond belief. Or just maybe, this is their typical "life pattern"...always in a rush, never planning and always late. While I am well aware of the closeness of the day, and readily admit to have done so myself...at times, I find this quite curious to watch from a distance. I wonder whether these people can "see" themselves? Do they know what they are doing? Where are they going so fast? Sometimes, I think we need to relax, gain some perspective and realize that we must slow down and enjoy the here and now.

The greatest assassin of life is haste, the desire to reach things before the right time which means overreaching them.-Juan Ramon Jimenez
