I’ve been thinking lately about how I like to spend time with people. Sometimes we socialize just for the sake of it. Other times, it is because we truly enjoy the company. I find the former tiring, but the latter deeply fulfilling. There is something special about being with people who make you think, who listen with intent, and who help you see the world a little differently. Whether at work or in personal circles, there is always a balance between what you enjoy and what you feel obligated to do. When you reflect on it long enough, deeper questions begin to surface.

The Sands of Time

The sands of time cannot be wasted away
By the wait for things to sway your way
If things have to improve tomorrow
Find your way today!

Which you may not find anymore in use
If waiting is all you want to do

The ravages of time leave you disturbed
To realise the essence of time unspent
Its all a game at the end of the day
Without having taken part in the play

Frail exterior you may sport
The inner resolve will drive you forth
Work as hard as your dreams
Then they are no more in your realms

Success is not as tough
Though the path to it is as rough
Light at the end of the tunnel
Glows as a result of the struggle

Time is no more a healer
For you have got the feeler
The struggle had left you busy
But life is now just as easy
