Meditation helps to free you from the rush forwards

Do you ever think that you won't ever catch up?  Well you won't be alone, it is nature driving YOU!  Every morning those hens come out and as if they are on a mission, they are totally driven by nature, no chance to do anything else but peck at the ground, eat, lay eggs and sleep exactly on time, no choice at all.  And the new chicken which is definately going to be a cockerel, is growing as quickly as watching a cartoon, every day a little more definition to him, a little less dependent on his mother.  And when you most think you haven't got time, you most have to make it to just stop, play time at his own game, don't be taken in by his speedy demands, he is just hand in hand with nature.  We sit to meditate and every muscle and sinew is suggesting that you should get up NOW and pick the beans, make that telephone call, get ready for the weekend, rush, rush, rush.  So, we stay and like the boy on the horse below, there is something totally still at the centre, totally present and not in a rush at all.
