Is life experiencing you or are you experiencing life

~Kerri-Elizabeth~

The rejection dance…..

I hurt so I’ll take time away

I’m mad so I’d rather not talk

I’m in pain so I want to be alone

I’m busy so hold on

I’m overwhelmed I’ll talk to you later

My phones ringing

The kids are screaming

My spouse needs me

My boss is calling

My animals are waiting to be fed

I have to walk the dogs

The kids have activities

I have to make dinner

I’m hungry

I’m tired

I have to do laundry

I need to vacuum

I have to get papers in order

I need to post on social media at least for business

I have to workout

I need to mow the lawn

Pick up dog poop

Weed the gardens

We need groceries

My cars a mess

The garbage has to go out

Oh ya I need a shower

Do I have time to wash my hair this week

I need a coffee

I forgot I had that appointment

Oh no I double booked myself

Oh ya the event

Oh shoot I have three meetings this week

A to do list that goes three pages

I need to call my parents

Oh ya I have to help my parents

My kids want time

My friends need time

My spouse needs time

So rejection follows

It dances in the hearts of our loved ones

Life events own you

There is no control

Your controlling, controlling your schedule

Communication

Who needs that, just text

There’s an app for everything

Download another one, it’ll keep you in touch

Watch your favorites by video

Touching or hugs get you arrested

Gestures are all lost in assumption

Give and take has been crammed into a Marco polo app

There is no time for kids to experience nature

Grandparents are no longer a legacy

Unless you live within 10 miles

There is no time for the silence that heals you

Where is everyone at dinner

There are no family dinners

Phones are not on walls

They are permanently attached to the body with fancy phone attachments

Everyone is a life coach and everyone has an answer

In laws and outlaws fight for holidays

Children wait for gifts and have no idea moments are priceless

Holidays are an eruption of anxiety and arguing over schedules

Splitting each human into more pieces

Nature is no longer a way of life

Real food doesn’t grow its scientifically modified

Fast food and fantasy are peoples truth

Farms, barns and real labor are almost extinct

It’s a life children see on an iPad

It’s a google search so not to get dirty

It will just add more work to the daily routine

I need an island vacation

I need another vacation from my vacation

I miss the kids

Hurry home

Wish you were still at the island

Where is prayer

Where is God

Oh ya I forgot my prayers

Hurried through life

Then, there I was in front of my King

Humbled and unable to change a thing

I missed my mother’s face

My father’s hug

My children never experienced summers at their grandparents

My hair is grey

I’m wrinkled

My muscle tone escaped

My brain is slower

I’m slower

I’m unsure what happen

I missed it

I was too busy being busy to realize I could have been living

SUNSHINE

I have so much to say on this subject, our legacy of life is getting lost in cell phones, iPads, computers and conversation is luck of the draw. Social media connects us but it does NOT CONNECT us! Busy schedules push you through your day so you can get a one week vacation to want another when you get back.

Kids are too busy now days to learn what a farm is, to plant real food, to hike in the mountains and experience where fire wood comes from. Knives are not allowed anymore to carve sticks and create something from nature. REAL guns aren’t allowed so we buy our kids toy guns and tell them at the same time guns are bad.

Food is so modified our children don’t even know what real food is anymore, they think the modification means real. We have no idea who is a boy or a girl anymore and wonder why our society is so confused.

I don’t usually burst out of my sunshine in to a human rant of frustration but life is for LIVING and experiencing and I cant believe the changes in how I grew up to now and the changes that are driving America to DEVASTATION!
