"AN INTERNAL METRONOME" by Tahlia Hunter

"AN INTERNAL METRONOME"
by Tahlia Hunter

There is an internal metronome

that lies within you

that with each tick,

determines how quickly

you must travel through life.

It whispers to you,

“You must rush through life,

for you are not moving quickly enough,

and if you do not speed up,

you will run out of time

to achieve all of your dreams."

But you may choose to

slow down the metronome

and gently remind it that,

“This life is not a race,

or competition,

or checklist of items to be completed,

but a journey

that was never meant to be rushed

but to be savoured,

for the destination is guaranteed.

And though I may wish to skip certain chapters of my life

in order to reach where I wish to be,

to “kill time,”

is to kill life,

for each second of my life is precious,

and no one second of my life

is greater than another.

And the slower I go,

the faster I may truly travel,

for within each step,

I am truly present.

And it is in the present moment

where all of creation occurs.

And so I will move forward peacefully

at my own pace,

knowing that in each moment,

so long as I am committed to a path of love and continual growth,

I am exactly where I am meant to be."
