Hippies these days are too strung out. They are too health conscious and read too much gobbeldygook. I feel sad at the whole new rich so called "cyber hippies". What ever happened to protesting on the grass. Now It's...the secret...this...and ....what the bleep...that...I thing the indoor couch potato hippy has taken over. I miss the flowers in the hair.

They are all welcome :-) Thanks too for sharing the poem. You're right, just reading it again and hearing the words playing through your mind is enough to make you stop, breathe in, look around, and smile.

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 stand and stare. I think it's another one of those poems/songs that's guaranteed to make you slow down and smile. Whenever I'm super busy, this runs through my mind and reminds me it's time to have a break and appreciate everything going on around us. Joanna

I’m late on commenting on this post but your comments reminded me of the poem Leisure by William Henry Davis:

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand 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 stand and stare.

I think it’s another one of those poems/songs that’s guaranteed to make you slow down and smile. Whenever I’m super busy, this runs through my mind and reminds me it’s time to have a break and appreciate everything going on around us.
