Did you slow down today?

Did you slow down today?
To look at the
    bright ultramarine sky,
    shining emerald leaves of a tree,
    path of a buzzing bee,
    or a lazily floating butterfly?
I am not asking you
to stand for hours and hours.
But spare a moment to relax
Your senses.
To calm that animal inside you
That wants to keep running…
Running away.
That burns you out
From inside.
Just a moment please
Soak up that beautiful sunshine…
Before the fight or flight of
The predators and prey
Continues…
