Life can be on the fast lane for most people. It could be depressing and stressful. This poem is a great reminder to all of us to slow down and enjoy life while we can:
Stop Take a deep breath Relax Calm down Think Recollect your thoughts Sleep Rest your muscles Eat Regain your energy Drink Motivate yourself Slow down
No need to juggle it all It doesn’t matter if you’re trailing behind Not every problem can be solved in one day Not everyone can be saved in a day Slow down
A wound takes time to heal A broken heart takes time to mend A seed takes time to grow All your chores don’t have to be completed today Let them wait if they have to Slow down
You don’t have to please them all You don’t have to be like them all Work with your pace Save your sanity Save your health Save your energy Slow down
There is more to life then work, work, work There is more to life then worry, worry, worry Slow down
Have fun while you can Laugh and be merry Take your time You are alone in this race You have no one to beat Slow down
Ples Singsing is envisioned to be a new platform for Papua Niuginian expressions of creativity, ingenuity and originality in art and culture. We deliberately highlight these two very broad themes as they can encompass the diverse subjects, from technology, medicine and architecture to linguistics, music, fishing, gardening et cetera. Papua Niuginian ways of thinking, living, believing, communicating, dying and so on can cover the gamut of academic, journalistic or opinionated writing and we believe that unless we give ourselves a platform to talk about and discuss these things in an open, free and non-exclusively academic space that they may remain the fodder for academics, journalists and other types of writers alone. New social media platforms have given every individual a personal space to share their feelings and ideas openly, sometimes without immediate censure. The Ples Singsing writer’s blog would like to provide another more structured platform for Papua Niuginian expressions in written, visual and audio formats while also providing some regulation of the type and content of materials to be shared publicly.
