Groove

by David Garner



We are intended to move

so we move.


We are intended to rest

so we rest.


We are intended to move

so it's true

that we must move

so we can rest

so we can move.


Now, it's important to consider

the mind of a sitter:


Does he sit so he can rest?

Or does he sit so he can move?


Some would say that on your butt

that you are just in a rut,

but if you sit so you can move

I would say you're in a groove.


Is it a groove?

Is it a rut?

Is it a groove?


If you're always on the go

and you never take it slow,

some would say you're living well,

but to me that's living hell.


Is it a groove?

Is it a rut?

Is it a groove?

you are absolutely right about this. I so connect with your way of thinking... and this very basic illustration... as... the spring has to be inner coiled in order to spring out and always and in everything, the pulling back that gives power, energy, fresh spring to what "move" means.
