Slow Down

Slowness means aligning perfectly with time, like gentle rain droplets falling one by one onto a rock.
This extension of time deeply penetrates space.
This is one of the secrets of walking.
As you slowly approach a landscape, it becomes more familiar, like deepening a friendship through regular meetings.

Yesterday, I hurried down a path.
Today, I walked it slowly.
The ground felt moist, and I could sense the spring air caught in the breeze.
Moving slowly allows you to see what you missed.
Matching steps with deep breaths, you can fully appreciate the intricate details of the space where we live and breathe.
Slowness teaches us the wisdom of living in the present.
