Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy
Paul Simon, 59th Street Bridge Song
I tried getting things done as quickly as possible. I even tried doing two or three things at the same time.
Sitting in meditation during early mornings looking through my study window at the main street through our development, I’m reminded that the 25 miles per hour speed limit isn’t even a target for most drivers. They are in a hurry.
Surely it isn’t only American culture (actually both urban and rural) where people are always in a hurry.
Let us pause and consider. Do we really need all that hurry? Slow down. Enjoy where you are. One of life’s many paradoxes consists of slowing down a little one task at a time and accomplishing more with less internal stress.
Slow down, you move too fast.
