about
Living a happy and fulfilling existence has less to do with what you do and more to do with how you do it. Even the most mundane event becomes meaningful the more engaged and present you are in the experience. The more enthralled and invested you are in the experience of the moment the more life seems to slow down and perceptions and sensations become increasingly vivid and memorable.
As I play with the sands of time, much to do with no real motion
I’ve been here so many times, the familiar breeds such deep devotion
I live life in slow motion, (you never know you never really know)
I live life in retromotion, (you never know you never really know)
Too many sounds, tastes, and smells overwhelm and confuse, often reducing the quality of our experience. When we move too fast life becomes a blur and the dizzying ecstasy of risk and excitement, though thrilling, is often forgotten the moment in ends. Life's simple ecstasies which maximize rather than outpace our ability to process our experience are both lasting and satisfying.
I crave the lonely life full of thoughts and sensations
Feel comfort in natures laws and my own imagination
Each day is crystal clear, the beauty of being here
There’s no puzzle to unwind, just laughs, smiles and conversation
The uncertainty of life makes it an ever ending process that is filled with growth and increased intimacy and familiarity. Those who live life in slow motion just enjoy the ride.
Come now and join me, in celebration
Life’s what we make it, celebrate it
lyrics
Slow Motion 7/27/04
My life moves along, so different quite plain
It’s not what I deserve, it’s not a shame
As I play with the sands of time, much to do with no real motion
I’ve been here so many times, the familiar breeds such deep devotion
I live life in slow motion, (you never know you never really know)
I live life in retromotion, (you never know you never really know)
I feel the awe surge thru my veins
I store it all deep in my brain
I love it all more each day
I see the call locked in your gaze
I crave the lonely life full of thoughts and sensations
Feel comfort in natures laws and my own imagination
I live life in slow motion, (you never know you never really know)
I live life in retromotion, (you never know you never really know)
My lungs fill with raw emotion, I’ve got to let it out, I’ve got to belt it out
My pounding heart is feeling fine, as I climb my spirits rise
Each day is crystal clear, the beauty of being here
There’s no puzzle to unwind, just laughs, smiles and conversation
I live life in slow motion, (you never know you never really know)
I live life in retro-motion, (you never know you never really know)
I know you see my celebrating
I know you feel me celebrating
Come now and join me, in celebration
Life’s what we make it, celebrate it
