~ Tempo ~

"Sometimes in life

we need to

slow

down to see life."

The sound of the ticking clock

emphasizes - every second in life is valuable

moving along with its constant rythmn

throughout the day ...

Tick-tock ... tick-tock

I go about my existence, sometimes at

lightening speed ...

missing life happening on the sidelines,

as if it were just a

blur

from the intense speed I am

passing

it by with. 

Eyes blinded

to the

journey

along the way,

being more concerned with the

destination.

As with life, there is a delicate

tempo in music. 

I continually remind my amazing

piano students,

that just because someone can play

fast,

doesn't mean they are a good pianist

if the tempo is

uneven.

Tempo.  One of the most

important

elements in music, can shape a beginner into an

advanced student within

seconds.

The next aspect I remind them is

if their tempo is uneven - that they need to

slow down

and perfect it at a slower tempo,

to see and learn from it more clearly, with

enlightenment

and continue on with

even tempo.

Have you ever noticed in life

that more mistakes are made,

frustrations brew

stress boils

the mind is all clutter

when we hurry faster ... increase our speed?

Beat, rhythm

cadence, momentum, pace, pulse ...

Life.

Today is the day for you to make
even
your tempo.
And if needs be, to
slow
it down ... see life ...
the sidelines - the journey -
YOU.

What are you
missing
with your fast, busy, uneven tempo
in life?

Slow down. Even it out.

See life today.  Breathe. Capture the moments. 

For in them,
you will also see and feel
Spirit.
