This poem is beautiful:
I WILL NOT HURRY
I will not hurry through this day!
Lord, I will listen by the way,
To humming bees and singing birds,
To speaking trees and friendly words;
And for the moments in between
Seek glimpses of Thy great Unseen.
I will not hurry through this day;
I will take time to think and pray;
I will look up into the sky,
Where fleecy clouds and swallows fly;
And somewhere in the day, maybe
I will catch whispers, Lord, from Thee!
I will not hurry through this day!
Lord, I will listen by the way,
To humming bees and singing birds,
To speaking trees and friendly words;
And for the moments in between
Seek glimpses of Thy great Unseen.
I will not hurry through this day;
I will take time to think and pray;
I will look up into the sky,
Where fleecy clouds and swallows fly;
And somewhere in the day, maybe
I will catch whispers, Lord, from Thee!
-Ralph Spaulding Cushman 1879-1960
The unhurried moments are where we find some of the best things in the day. The cool scent of the morning before the day heats up, the scent of fresh coffee, the sun peeking at daybreak before it fully rises to light and warm the day are just a few of the moments I do not want to hurry.
Hurrying too often distracts us from what is important.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1
Today, I am grateful for unhurried moments.
