The Sketchpad of Our Lives

The day starts with you saying

I have to do this

I have to do that

And then you get dressed

You leave for work

And are driving thinking

As soon as I get there

This and that is going to happen

I have to try and avoid this or that

I will do this until lunch

And then....

After lunch you feel the day is winding down

You try to have a minute to yourself

And then you sit for a minute

Feeling refreshed, it is close to going home

And on your way home,

You have to stop at the store,

Put gas in the car,

Pick up a child or two

You get home and you have to come up with dinner

Make sure the house is in order

The kids are doing homework

Getting things done so you can rest

As soon you sit down, you remember one or two things,

You get up again

Finally you sit

You find a book to read, a show to watch

And you fall asleep suddenly

You rest

You run

You rest again

A day in the life of us

A day that we thought we would get further

A day we trusted

Taking ourselves to the day we can sit still

And we Trust again that it will come

We think for a moment

We long for a feeling

Any feeling that reminds us of why

Why we are running so fast we can't see

And we tell ourselves we will do something different the next day

We will feel more

Do more

Love more

Say more of what we think, what we felt

Stop for a moment of enjoyment

Stop for a moment of care

To ourselves

To others

We forget this is our world

That while we are here

We are the designers

Instead we are living in a template called life

As we let life create us

As in truth we create life
