Are You Too Busy?

Do You Ever Feel You Are Too Busy?

When I was asked to be a monthly contributing writer for Sibyl Magazine, I submitted some articles and poems before I was accepted. For some reason they just Loved my poems and asked me if I could write poems every week. The first one I submitted ‘I am a Liberated Women’ is the one that sparked their enthusiasm and which was published in January. This poem reflected a powerful experience in my life years ago and it just ‘popped’ out of me one day – just like most poems do. And ‘Too Busy’ is no different. When you are not too busy, you actually make room for inspiration to Flow through you and … you being aware of it.

Well, I never considered myself a poet – and actually still don’t – but it made me wonder what it would be like to write a meaningful poem every month. And as I jumped into the Flow with a lot of hesitation,  I have now come to Love writing in poetry instead of in article form.
The message feels more to the point without a lot of wishy washy. ‘Just say it as it is!‘

Are You Too Busy?

I know most of us are way too busy and this poem was published in the June issue of Sibyl.
Let me know if you can relate to this subject in your life and how this poem touches you.

Too Busy?

Are you too busy to listen to what you need and long for

in the deepest recess of your Heart?

Too busy to cook yourself a nourishing meal

instead of doing what is fast and easy?

Too busy to say No to what you know is not right

and have ignored for the sake of convenience?

Too busy to listen to your friend in need

whom you gave a quick piece of advice

so you could go back to your busy, important life?

Are you too busy to see what is happening in the world

where the trees are disappearing,

the butterflies are dying

the sky is filled with ‘trails’

and the clouds are running dry?

Too busy to kiss the flowers, hug the trees,

smell the spring fragrance, hear the birds sing,

taste the tree-ripened fruit, play with the children,

dance in the rain, sing in the sun

and bury your hands in the soil?

Too busy to fly into the Field where infinite magic

is waiting for you to be embraced and embodied,

so you can bring it forth into this world

where everyone is too busy to notice anything

but their own sense of lack and limitation?

Are you too busy to even notice that you are too busy

and that you have forgotten the language of your beautiful Heart?

Sweet Friend, take a breath, listen to your Heart

and let It lead your way…

If you are not too busy (!) you may have time to explore more of my work as a Self Love Mystic & Mentor at Divine Feminine Flow. I also teach meditation and mindfulness at UCSC, which is essential if you want to slow down a bit. If you want to learn more about mindfulness, please start with the Meditation & Mindfulness course. Feel free to contact me for a free 30 min. Discovery Session to learn how true Self Love automatically slows you down so you can pay attention to what really matters to you.

This coming Wednesday August 5th at 12:30PST I will be a guest on Susan Jacobi’s radioshow ‘Conversations that Heal.’ I hope to ‘see’ you there. Feel free to call in with questions or inspirations.
