“Wise men say, only fools rush in, but I can’t help falling in love with you.”

Elvis Presley

Rushing is life. We don’t know how to live any other way. We rush through coffee in the morning and rush the kids off to school. We rush to meetings and if we eat lunch, we rush. Then, we rush home to rush dinner and fall in bed exhausted. We rush so much we forget we are rushing. We forget how to live. And we forget how to love. Rushing fools we have become.

The rushing way seemed right to us at first. After all, we have lots of important things to do but somewhere down the rushing path we realized, rushing is leading us where we don’t want to go; to solitude, illness and early death. Can we stop the fate that lies before us? Can we slow down? Can we remember how to live and love? Yes, we can. We can reconsider our course.

Reconsidering is rethinking, changing our minds and changing course. With open eyes and minds retracing our steps, maybe better paths that are yet unknown can emerge from the blur. Then, we can slow down. And we can heal. And hopefully, the blessed life of love that we really seek, can and will find us.

Are you ready to stop playing a fool?
