patience ye hasty souls

Why the rush? Why race through the days when your days are numbered; why keep counting?


After viewing "In Time," I was even more thankful that I do not know my number. We all have one - number that is, and we can't necessarily change that, but we can change how we live out those unknown numbers.


Some moments are unpleasant, but the ones that are pleasant should make up for that "lost time." Each day is a gift - and we don't count the number of gifts we receive now, do we?


Every now and then, I try to evade the organist in the chapel and get in some much needed "Clair de Lune" time. Okay people, I can hear the door opening followed by your giggles. It alarms me; I am in my element playing to my heart's delight, and you have disrupted my moment. I want nothing more than to pass along a quaint blessing - please listen, I don't mind, but don't disturb.


I promptly fled the wooden pews' abode, the piano lid carefully shut and bench pushed back into place. That moment I left unfinished... the suspension of my song lingering in the air, and I would not have closure on my emotions. I'd left that too, you know, when your noisy unrest-ed soul busted in on mine that was so still. Now it is restless, and I am frustrated. I was taking in that moment, and you hurried me along to the next. Patience, ye hasty souls...


Take it or leave it, but at least listen to the following songs.
