Slow
It’s been awhile since I last wrote. Busy, busy, busy. Time seems to fly, even more so the older you get. It’s time to focus again, to pay attention to what happens around you, to step out of the rat-race. Because before you know, life is over. And you haven’t lived the way you should. You should be aware of things, pay attention to them, be more zen-like. It’s what the “slow movement” advocates. Slow down life’s pace, don’t be rushed anymore, don’t let your life be dictated by time but control it. For instance, there’s a slow food movement which proposes using honest products, taking time preparing them (which may take hours) and then eating the meal which again may take hours. Bottomline is, pay attention to what you do and enjoy it. It’s an advice I will try to follow in 2007. It’s one of my good intentions. I mean I will not eat for hours at a time, but I will try to live “slower”, more attentive, less with deadlines.
