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.

Reflections on Life

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

“I spent my youth chasing the future.
Now I sit with coffee and watch—
others run toward theirs.”

“The young chase tomorrow with urgency; the old watch it arrive —
with patience.”

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)
