stop, stop, stop. Just stop.

pause, and see that it is beautiful.
it remains beautiful, don't you see?

no, you do not see.

look, just look.
stare if you have to.

but of all things,
be mesmerize again,
of its forgotten beauty.

yes, beautiful indeed,
is this life we live in.

our everyday walk.

so pause, just pause.
and take time to remember.

Selah ( Hebrew: סלה) meaning "pause, reflection",
within the context of a prayer or psalms, is similar in purpose to Amen
in that it stresses the importance of the preceding passage.
