Does Time Go By So Slowly?

What we can learn from Madonna’s music during this pandemic.

I was out on my nature walk this morning. This has become a regular thing for me since this pandemic started. I know how much my mind, body, and soul need this sacred time. Today instead of walking in the woods the way I usually go, I chose a different trail. I also chose different music. Different is good. Change is good. Change brings innovation and ideas and creativity to the forefront of our minds.

I put Madonna on on pandora. Hung up came on. The lyrics caught my attention: “Time goes by so slowly.” I know this song well. I’ve spent many nights dancing the night away on the dance floor to this song. I think every woman can identify with the lyrics of this song. She’s tired of waiting for a man to call her who isn’t showing the fuck up. She is hung up. She’s done. I’ve been in this space too many times to name but its not somewhere I live now, nor with the growth work and self-approval I have as a woman in her mid-forties do I think I will be in that space again.

But…..

I heard something in this song today. I heard something new, a twist of perspective if you will.

Time goes by so slowly for those who wait

No time to hesitate
