What's The Hurry?

You're not getting anywhere...

you might survive a while...

experience some pleasure...

a tropical beach long enough

for a few photos and back 

to the grind.

You may get to retirement

and not remember what

life was for.

You may get rich and famous,

its own kind of hell.

You may not succeed and

feel bad about that, or, succeed

and put a Richard Cory bullet

in your head.

So, tell me again...

where are you heading so fast,

will it still be there when you get there,

and will it look like what you imagined?

What I'm saying is the path is the goal:

to be where you are; the journey more

interesting than the destination.

We learn nothing crossing the finish line;

only if the journey has been worthwhile
