The Hurry of Passing Time

Verse 1


There once was a life rushed too fast,
Chasing moments that never could last.
In the clatter and race,
We forgot time’s soft grace—
And the sweetness is now slipping past.

Verse 2


Through days that we hurried awake,
We plundered each hour in our wake.
Yet wisdom would say,
Pause somewhere in the day—
For the small, quiet joys that we take.

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)

A reflection on life’s rushing pace, reminding us to pause and cherish moments before they fade.

Self‑Discovery and Identity — “What Was and What Will Be

The Future You Create

The future waits in quiet clay,
Shaped by the hands that work today.

No distant star can chart your way,
Like choices made along the day.

Each step becomes tomorrow’s view,
The future lives in what you do.
