This great hurry

For quite some time now I’ve had this relentless hurry on my heels. Feels like the world is pacing so fast and I’ve been left behind. I have to run faster and faster to keep up with it. When I’m out doing nothing, I can hear a clock counting seconds in the back of my head. I have to suffocate that feeling around other people and then I turn silent and angry. Then at some point when I’m alone, I must do something fast. Some work or exercise to keep up the illusion that I’m keeping up.

I should just let it go. Let the world spin as fast as she can. I’ll just sit here and write this text. I’ll just sit here and play my song. If I keep on hurrying I become blinded and hot as a coal. That is not a good mindset for anything. I cannot make songs in a rush, I cannot be good to my woman in a rush, I cannot love in a rush. So hush the rush and pull your head from the bush. No. Better. Do not worry ‘bout the hurry it makes your eyes blurry. Shake it away from your heels.

There are lots of things you can hurry about, but rarely are they worth hurrying for. People chase money, they chase fame, drugs, work, addiction. Second rate experiences and suffering. Some people are afraid of missing out, so they chase the world. But when you get blinded by hurry, you miss out on life. Your life. You might just have one of those. Enjoy it. I’m off to dinner for some vegetable puree soup made by my sweet sweet woman.
