Pondering With Brady L.B.

Have you ever stopped to smell the roses.  Or have you ever stopped to look that the design of a leaf.  They are so simple, yet they contain complexity.  They come in many shapes, sizes, colors, and styles.  Yet for all its beauty we rush by them and ignore the beauty around us. For these reasons we should slow down from our busy day and admire what has been naturally created. How would our lives be different if we spent some time to slow down?  Would we be less stress?  Would we have less problems in our lives? I would say that our lives would be better, if we would find balance in our lives.  One way to find that balance is to slow down to reexamine our priorities.  If we slow down without a plan of what we are going to do, then we might find it boring and then never do it again.  So we need to have a plan. I would suggest the following plan to start with: Find something to admire or watch from nature such as leaves Think about what you have done in the past day, week,

How it might be That we must see The things before you That we must pursue Finding life in things done Underneath the sun Combining them together From things we gather The end is green As the plants seen That were added for health And not for stealth We hope we grow With nutrition sown In our green drink To prevent the dreary brink ©2014 Brady L.B.

Here we sit thinking About the great world around us It passes by as we continue blinking Wondering why everyone has to fuss How small we really are When compared to those afar How can we continue on Underneath the sun Why are we here Instead of there When all thing can go wrong Why don't we sing a sad song About the insignificance of our lives That could end by knives Without the love of our wives In these dives Why does anything exist If nothing once existed What enjoy the great dark bliss What caused the bleak void to be resisted The loneliness of nothing Was replaced with massive things What caused the chaos to become order The great worlds to gain border What caused the great nothing to gain lives The type of life to think of what can be And what could be with wives As far as we can see Here we sit thinking As it passes us by as we are blinking. ©2014 Brady L.B.
