More Than Before

People are in such a rush.
We’re always in a rush.
Rushing to get back to the time before
The time before the world ended as we knew it
Back to normal
Back to reality
When really we found ourselves on the edge of something new
Something noteworthy
Something more than before
More than the routines we had strung together
More than the blur of running from this to that
More than the same thoughtless interactions we got away with on a daily basis
This new life we’ve been called to is one of great intention
Asking us to barter
Who we spend our time with
How we spend our time
And reveals how our time is sacred
Perhaps gifting us with more time than we know what to do with
More time than before
Looking back now
We must ask if we spent our time well?
Not if we were productive
Not if we were accomplished
But who did we become?
And was it time well spent?
Looking forward
We must ask when the right time will be
To increase our circle
To increase our step
To increase our capacity for more
Because when it all played out
We found that
Less is more
Less crowds is more space
Less work is more gain
Less cars is more air
Less distractions is more purpose
Less less less
More more more
More than before
