… And Rusher.

How is it life can seem so full of so much damn rush at times?

How is it that we get so caught up in getting to where we need to be that we forgo so much in the process … our safety, our well being, our good intentions.

I am including myself here. Because no one can get sucked into the Rush Vortex faster than I.

Heart pounding, stressing, that I am three minutes past my regular departure time. Must get there. As soon as possible. Must get there on time, at all costs.

But it is not at all costs. It never should be.

Why don’t we opt to slow down, err on the side of mindful caution so we can watch out for each other?

Being in a hurry without knowing why or knowing why and realizing it is for silly reasons, doesn’t get us where we need to be any faster.

Let’s all just take one long deep breath. A step back, or off, the gas pedal. We’ll get there. And I’d rather get there in peace and positivity than in a jumbled mess of nerves and anger.
