Tortoise Taught Us...

This is all leading somewhere.

You think it isn't...but if your heart is still beating...

it is. 

The problem might be...you are so used to instant gratification. 

RAH RAH RAH!!!  they all cry.

WIN!!  WIN!!!

Kill the other guy before he kills you!

Survival of the fittest!

& in your down time?

A shot of alcohol to the heart?

The hit of a joint to the brain? 

some crank?  speed?

Even a movie with shooting, exploding, sex and loud music. 

Hit the button...the movie of your choice.

On demand.

DEMAND DEMAND!!

Any kind of high to get the heart beating...

When maybe...

we should slow it down a little.

If you slow it all down...like the Buddhist monks...you will see the little details. 

The little changes. 

The tiny wins.  Almost imperceptible to the human eye.

Rush past them too fast...& you will get a result, sure-

but maybe not the one you heart and soul NEED. 

Slow it down...take a deep breath, look around you, and recognise...

This is ALL leading somewhere good.
