In praise of slowness
No one taught us how to arrive late to our own lives.
I spent the whole morning trying to finish a sentence. It wasn’t a difficult sentence; it was just a sentence that didn’t want to be finished.
I distrust anything that gets ready too quickly. Bread, opinions, forgiveness.
Hurry is the most polite way of not being there.
A practice
Today I tried walking to the bakery without looking at the clock. I arrived at the usual time, but I arrived whole.
