We run through life doing our very best each and every day. We are crunched for time and seem to be meeting ourselves coming home as we leave the next morning. Working hard doesn't seem to be enough anymore, and we don't seem to have a moment to think about how to work smart. Running around like hamsters in a cage, day in and day out, more paperwork and more computer work, more phone calls and more errands, take the kids here and take on another job. When did life get so crazy?Watching the mist rise off the lake this morning Kansas came to mind. No, not the state - the group and their song, "Dust in the Wind." I offer these lyrics to you today to contemplate as this is how I'm feeling today:
I close my eyes
only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes with curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, through we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Now don't hang on
Nothin' lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Yesterday's news scared me and should scare us all. Today, I seek consolation but can't seem to find it. Sorry to be such a downer today but ... well ... there ya go.
Added disclaimer: This really didn't have anything to do with the financial mess.
