(Keith Bedford/Reuters)Reuters - A study of cities across the world shows pedestrians are upping their pace at an alarming rate as they scurry from place to place, determined to cram as much as possible into each day.

****Yea, and there is no more time to smell the flowers, nor look at the clouds.  Les poetry for a hurried world.  I remember two songs here...

1. John Lennon's Watching the Wheels

"People say I'm lazy...dreaming my life away....I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round"

2.  Manoling Francisco's "Manatili Ka" (Stay)

"Manatili ka, kahit sandali....Bakit nga ba laging nagmamadali?"

Stay for a while, why are you always in a hurry?  - It's a religious song.
