Didn't see it coming

Are you awake?

I mean really awake?

How often do you find yourself drifting in and out of days and weeks before something jolts you and you suddenly realize that so much time has passed and it's all a blur?

Have you ever had a day that if you had to think back on, you have a vague recollection of what you did?

What about those conversations. You know the ones. That if you had to explain what you heard, you have no clue?

Then there's reading...ever read a page over and over and still don't know what you read?

Some call it information overload.

Others say it's the 'keeping too many plates spinning' or balls juggling or blah, blah, blah ... did you catch that?

Being present. Really being aware is not such an easy feat. It's too easy to get caught up in everyday stuff that clutters the mind, heart and soul. And then before you can say ... you won't have seen it coming.

Tick, tock, tick, tock ...
