"Stop and smell the roses", people say. But who is actually doing it, in this busy busy world of ours? Everybody seems mainly interested in keeping themselves occupied all the time. There is always so much to do... There isn't enough time... Don't you, too, say this every now and then? Just think for a moment. Yes, take a moment to stop your frenetic activity and THINK. There isn't enough time for what? All right, you have to work, to eat, sleep, go out and have fun, go to the movies, see your friends, play games, watch TV, read the papers, make phone calls, attend meetings etc.. Wow! That is "really" a lot! Do you ever take a little time, just a few minutes to "stop and smell the roses", i.e. to be just with yourself, in silence, listening only to the soft whisper of your spirit, letting your mind rest, forgetting about the worldly affairs and just BE? If you have never done it, try it today, now. Stay still for just a little while and let go. You might find this tiny experience quite rewarding.
