Take a PauseTake a Pause

When life is full,
and your schedule is running over with the undone
When time moves so fast
no time to prepare for the ending before it comes.
Take a Pause.
When a moment will be lost
that would make a treasured memory someday down the road
When something is slipping away
so quickly like that slippery bar of soap unattached to the rope.
Take a Pause.
When you know the moment is nearly gone
and no amount of undoing will work to get it back
When you scurry too fast
past all the treasure of life you’ve ever had
Take a Pause.
That family or friend, near or far,
who needs you in a moment that seems inconvenient
That waif that looks to you so tall
and wishes to share your height for just a minute
Take a Pause.
Savor. Treasure. Remember.
Store away for another day and another time.
Memorize. Cultivate the moment.
It’ll come back to you clearly someday when you
Take a Pause.

Take a Pause – an original momentary thought while thinking about the hurried pace we live and if we fail to pause and drink it in, lost to the clutter of our past it will be. So. Find something that will help you slow down your hurried pace and enjoy it with someone, and share the thought on how you are willing to Take a Pause.
