Too Busy to Relax By Aaron Hoopes Too busy to relax they say... complaints, excuses everyday They sound so weak, so stressed, so tired... a mundane world in which they’re mired No time to sit and just be quiet... their mind’s a rush of thoughts, a riot No chance they have to hear the sound... of nature’s wonder all around Of birds and trees and clouds and air... too much work, it’s just not fair This really seems quite sad to me... so much to do, no time to be Breathe I say and move a bit Then after that we can just sit And watch the world at its own pace There is no rush, it’s not a race And if it were, what is the goal? Where are you going mind, body, soul? Too busy to relax I hear... these words seem like they’re based in fear Tired, weak and too much stress... how did our lives turn such a mess? We don’t need to look above... to find a place that’s based in love Turn instead and look within... find your self, it is no sin Forgive, let go, open your heart... it is the only place to start Think on that and you might find... throughout your life you have been blind Breathe I say and move some more Run, walk, jump, stretch on the floor Move your body, get up and go Feel the energy, let it flow Don’t get caught in negative Habits that won’t let you live Too busy to relax? Not true! ... this hoax must end, it starts with you If all you do is just the same... you never will escape this game Do something new, do something Zen... begin right now, not ‘if’ or ‘when’ Do one thing different, or two, or five... change how you live, become alive Do or do not, there is no try... step off the cliff and start to fly Begin with this, you won’t go wrong... remember to breathe, deep and long. - Aaron Hoopes, founder of Zen Yoga Breathe - Move – Relax artofzenyoga
