It's a Busy World

It’s a busy world,
and life can be so full,
do this,
do that,
be here,
go there.
But sometimes
it’s just good
to sit,
and watch the clouds go by.

So easily
enticed
by advertisers’ dreams,
by images and idols,
flashing screens,
and magazines,
a world unreal,
that sinks its victims
in a sea of debt
and disillusionment.

This leaning-forward life
of get
and have,
and be,
invents its own utopian grass
beyond the hill,
and has no time
simply
to sit,
and watch the clouds go by.

1999 in Dorset, England, after doing just that, and seeing my Saviour's hand in it all.

It is a very interesting article, i like it very much.
Jesus is with us all the time.
In the last time, we are very busy, and we don't have time for familly, for food or for other things. Recently, I find the www.nearmehours.com website, that help me and my familly with a lot of location near me and open hours.
