Ok... I don't know how successful this will be 
This is my 1st thread, so here goes.....
I very much believe that we have the gift of life, and we should fulfill all our senses.... I am not a really spiritual person, but I guess next to the average joe, I could be a little spiritual.
I am touched by things I read, things I see, things I smell, things I hear....
I thought it would be nice to have a thread to share those things that you might stumble across day to day, that make you stop, collect your thoughts and reflect on how amazing it is to be here, things that connect us to ourselves....
Or things that just made you think.... wow.
I'll start with a couple of things.
First is a poem I was emailed the other day.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
