Slow down dear heart
You have but one body
A single mind for consuming
What’s my rush
I can’t learn it all
~
Hearts beat rapidly
Bodies urge
A mind craving details
I want, I need, I believe
Striving towards excellence
~
Heart quickening
Hands shaking
Mind alive, perceiving
Are these three deceiving me
I may know nothing
~
Heart slows
Hands rest
Mind goes back to dreaming
Stopping myself
My own worst enemy
Oldest Daughter & Red Headed Sister 
I, too, am my own worst enemy and my harshest critic.
Great poem, Audrey 🙂

I have come face to face with the enemy. He is me. The nice thing about getting older is the recognition of one’s own capability to push too hard. To relax with oneself is divine. Nicely done.

There are three of them so far. “Getting Nowhere Fast” is in Osaka Time. The new album is called “Manaus Where Two Rivers Meet”. It is sounding good to me. Almost ready.
