Stop and stare ( Ecclesiastes 3 v 11 )

The poet W.H.Davies wrote,''What is this life if, full of care,we have no time to stop and stare.No time to stand beneath the boughs,and stare as long as sheep or cows,No time to see, when woods we pass,where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see in broad daylight,streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance,and watch her feet, how they can dance.No time to wait ,till her mouth can,enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care,we have no time to stop and stair''.I live in a very busy place,not to far from London,there is a major motorway near me,and also a large shopping center. So it is a busy place,and it appears to me that so many people are busy, busy,no time to stop and stare, our lovely Saviour encouraged us to stop and stare,He said look at the birds, look at the flowers, ( Matthew 6 ),so many people are driven,and I am not speaking about driving their cars,no it is an inner compulsion,that causes them not to relax, or enjoy life.A friend of mine told me of two people who have a lovely garden,and they rarely sit in it ,and enjoy it,learn from the poet,and learn from our Saviour,to stop and stare.
