sometimes I forget

Sometimes I forget how quickly time goes by, and I begin to wonder what other things in my life I just miss... All of a sudden I find myself wondering how daylight disappears so quickly, and why the rain and wind has replaced the warmth of the sun, and where the green on the trees has gone, only to be substituted by red, gold and brown of leaves in autumn. How do I manage to find the natural progression of the seasons so shocking? Its almost as if life gets so busy or I get so consumed by the 'stuff' of life that I miss out on some of the things I simply and deeply love. But, then I find myself shrugging it all off, because at the rate things are passing me by, the next time I blink fall will have turned into winter, the longest day of the year will have come and gone and then spring will bring with it the renewal of nature and life I look forward to every day. Somehow I must try to prevent that vexatious blink...
