Slow Down and reconnect to your True Nature at H2O

Welcoming all into our peaceful sanctuary, at H2O we advocate the importance of taking time out from our busy lifestyles to relax into a practice that brings us into harmony with our body, mind and inner being. A space that allows us to reconnect with our true inner nature of peace and harmony.

The words of David L Weatherford emphasize this very clearly in his beautiful poem “Slow Dance”.

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round, or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight, or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down, don’t dance so fast, Time is short, the music won’t last.
Do you run through each day on the fly, when they ask “How are you?”, do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed, with the next hundred chores running through your head?

You better slow down, don’t dance so fast, time is short, the music won’t last.
Ever told your child, we’ll do it tomorrow, and in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch, let a friendship die, because you never had time to call and say ‘Hi’?

You better slow down, don’t dance so fast, Time is short, the music won’t last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere, you miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day, it’s like an unopened gift thrown away.

Life is not a race, do take it slower, and hear its music before the song is over.

Slow Dance… David L Weatherford
