When it feels good to be moving slowly.



Glaciers seem to be good at it. grains of sand through an hourglass. the opening of a flower is pretty slow. cannot actually see it happening. what is the best thing to be doing when life seems to be forcing you to move s.l.o.w.l.y.? there can the frantic sense that I am getting more and more behind on what is really important. It can also feel like maybe I have NO IDEA what the important thing is. 
5 knotts in a long boat feels like a comfortable way to 'go slow'
maybe I need to think of my body as a long boat.
