Busy ...?

I think everyone agrees....we are all very busy people. I have been paying more attention to this word lately, maybe because I have been experiencing this state myself.

But the question is what have i been busy doing ? what has been the result of all the busy-ness? I have no idea. I can see no physical result of this busy-ness or identify a particular source of this busy-ness. Its like,.... its all been in my head....hmmmm

In this busy-ness March has turned to May, May will turn to August, 28 will soon turn to 38....and then I'll stop and ask again, what have I been so busy doing???

I really don't want to be so busy, so how do I stop ?

While I am busy meditating on that, check out this poem ;)

Leisure
W. H. Davies

WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—

No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
