Sometimes, we are confronted by situations or face decisions that appear to have no positive outcomes. It feels as if we’re at the edge of a cliff or precipice and there’s no turning back. I came across this [zen saying] that captures the course of action that we all need to take … we just need to take the leap, whatever the perceived outcome. And surprisingly, a Net will appear and everything turns out fine in the end. It may not be what we anticipated … whether negative or positive … sometimes, it is just “different” and many times, the outcome is better than what we thought. So, the next time, when faced with the unknown or uncertain, “Leap, and the Net Will Appear.” [zen saying]

SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s
Erratic fly
Or gazed at the sun into
The fading night?
You better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won’t last
Do you run through each day
On the fly
When you ask “How are you?”
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won’t last
Ever told your child
We’ll do it tomorrow
And in your haste
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch
Let a good friendship die
‘Cause you never had time
To call and say “Hi”?
You better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won’t last
When you run so fast
To get somewhere
You miss half the fun
Of getting there
When you worry and hurry
Through your day
It is like an unopened gift
Thrown away…
Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
