Realisation

There is a reason why
We are told,
The tortoise ran the race slowly.
It's a metaphor of life,
This race.
And life is meant to be lived,
Experienced and enjoyed slowly.
Leisurely.
It is meant to be appreciated,
Not rushed.
Like the rabbit,
Who ran the race.
A high speed life does not befit one.
For you don't learn and grow.
You merely survive, from day to day.
Just live,
Barely scratching the surface.
To truly experience life,
You must live it.
Delve deep into it,
And appreciate it slowly.
Like you would, a nice glass of wine.
