Look Around

I look around at all the wonders of nature, and what do I see?
Well, at first I didn't see anything, unusual.
But, when I shut my mouth, and opened my ears, I heard beautiful sounds, sounds like I forgot even existed. I was out in my own back yard, in the wee hours of the mornin'. Drinkin' a cup of coffee, by myself, sittin' on the picnic bench. How beautiful "silence" sounded. No hustle and bustle of everyone gettin' ready for work this mornin'. (not this early anyway) No noisy engines, and squallin' tires out of the driveways and into the roads. How beautiful it is! I'm lovin' it. The sad thing is, why can't I see, smell, and hear all this every mornin'? Cause I'm just like everyone else. I've gotten caught up in the busy, go go go kind of lifestyle that has swept through the country in the past decade. You'd be amazed at how refreshed I felt when I left the back yard, and I didn't feel a need to rush throught the day. I was relaxed, and less worried about the next minute of the day. Maybe we should all do this, at least once a week. It would do us some good. Why are we in such a hurry anyway? We rush and rush until we've lost everything that meant anything to us, sometimes. Ya know what I mean? Does anyone else see what this hustle and bustle is doing to us, and what it is that we are taking for granted, let me know what you think?
