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!
Thoughts?
