Life Stuck In Fast Forward
Like Curious George discovering new things and fiddling with the old with tickles with Grandpa. You go through life. Taking things apart and scattering the pieces here and there. Putting books in the freezer and clothes in the food pantry. Where the food went, Lord only knows.
You remind me of a living tape recorder going through life syuck in fast forward in a blur of activity. Trying to accomplsh many things at omce and completing none, needing constant reminders and coaxing. Your life is full of multi-colored lights and muffled sounds moving way too fast.
You need to slow down some and put your life on pause sometime. Savor the things in life and fill your senses. There are things to savor like the smell, texture, and beauty of a flower or observing the life of a busy insect you would be able to find things. Your room would not look like a tornado hit it.
Maybe you could put your ;ofe on stop now and again and get some rest. Speaking like Mickey Mouse, speaking so quickly I have to ask you what you said. Whirling and spinning like Taz. Your nickname is Taz. Acting like Speedy Gonzales without the accent.
Slow down some- and just be my little boy today.
