144/365 : Hustle Not Hurry



you don't have to hurry
hustle and hurry are not the same thing

you can hustle the way you do
to fetch the ball when it's gone
beyond the goal and the coach
hollers, "hustle!"

with love in your heart
you still just jog
drag your feet a little
maybe even skip

you know you have time
that it's not gonna kill you or
anyone else
to not sprint
to not expend all of your energy
on the tiny in-betweens
of skill drills and whistles

you can hustle without hurry
without fear of losing your spot
you can hustle with heart
with attitude, easy and true
that says, "okay! i'm goin'!
chuggin' along!"

you can hustle like it's a game
and we're actually playing together
and it's actually better
when you're happy
and not sour
when you know we're staying together
when you know we want you
to have fun on this team
