The Wisdom of the Tortoise

My new goal is to be the tortoise . .

Mindful,
slow,
one thing at a time,
breathing,
paying attention,
being present,
not rushing,
it's not a race . . .

I have long been the hare,
hurrying,
to and fro,
frenetic,
harried.
exhausted,
scattered . . . 

It's time to try a different way,
slow,
steady,
wise,
connected,
focused
present . . .

I'm tapping in to my inner tortoise. . .
