Prisoners of Hurry: A Poetic Reflection on Time, Peace, and the Art of Slowing Down

We live in an era where speed seems to be the supreme value. The men and women of today rush about, trapped in a rhythm that rarely allows them to pause and contemplate life. We have become prisoners of hurry: running after imposed goals, endless commitments, and clocks that dictate our every move.

Time, which once was a space for encounter, contemplation, and creation, has turned into an invisible cage. It forces us to live as if everything were urgent, as if stopping were an unforgivable loss. And yet, the more we run, the emptier we feel.

Hurry steals from us what is essential: the attentive gaze on the present, the ability to truly listen to others, the calm needed to enjoy small everyday gestures. Hurry robs us of silence—and within that silence lies the seed of clarity and inner peace.

Perhaps the greatest act of rebellion left to us is to slow down. To rediscover the value of the pause, to learn to walk instead of run, to give time instead of consuming it. Because whoever manages to escape from hurry, even for just a few moments, finds themselves.

Poem

Without a clock, without haste,
calmly must go
the human being,
for hurry brings
anxiety and fear.

Calm gives us Peace,
light, smiles, time, and those sacred instants
that together shape
the life of our...
!!! times!!

POEMA (Original Written in Spanish)

Sin relog, sin prisas,
tranquilo debe ir el
ser humano,
pues las prisas traen
ansiedad y miedo.

Calma nos regala Paz,
luz, sonrisas, tiempo, y esos instantes sagrados
que unidos conforman,
la vida de nuestros ...
!!! tiempos!!

I love writing as I get to create something beautiful and touch others with my words in the process. I love the fact that I can create a whole new world, something no one else has ever seen. Writing helps me to escape reality and create new realities. At times, I also write stuff in those stories that I can never muster the courage to say in real life. It's my safe space. I can write whatever I am feeling and I can let it all out. It's also very therapeutic to me..

I am a writer, mother, and believer in the power of real, raw stories. I use words to create space for empathy, connection, and unfiltered conversations around life and parenthood. To make invisible feelings seen, one honest piece at a time.
