Tagarchief: break

Do we need a break or a brake?

Each day we run around
like crazy.

Tension at work.
Things to be done.
Tons of stress.

We are always in a state of shock.
Our minds occupied,
seven for seven,
with futile matter.
Our heads stuffed.

We constantly think,
but do not contemplate.
We feel less.
Our hearts are sealed.

Tell me…
do we need a break,
or a brake?

A pause.
A quiet time.
A brief relief.

A break from life.

A life you will pick up again,
sooner or later.

A return to normal,
as society dictates.

Or do you slow down
and gently push the brake?
Not all of a sudden,
not heading towards collision,

but slowly.
Step by step.

You decide to
open up your heart
again.

Even when you feel resistance.
Even when you feel the fight.
You decide
to slow down.

Realising life
is letting go,
releasing pressure.

The struggle is real.
The battle is heavy.

So let music enter your heart today —
not your head.
Let it enter every fibre of your body.
Let yourself be moved.
Let yourself be swept away.

Be the passion.
Be the motion.

The track is yours.
The intro has been written.
You are the flow in between.

The chore and the lyrics.
The break and the beat.
