Slow Lane

Two years ago, on a brightly lit screen in East Murray, I asked myself this:

How do you get off the phone and simply pay attention? 

Breathe. 

Surveying our lives, looking for triggers, inviting passion into the day. But of course there is more.

I'm a believer that living slowly is possible in any season. It takes lots of practice, to see past the mechanics of it all - to look at current circumstances and call the whole lot a gift. It takes practice to remind yourself that perfection is not just around the corner, that arrivals don't exist, that a better set of circumstances don't necessarily lead to a better life.

Slow living has never been about logistics. It's about linguistics.

The question then isn't about what slow living looks like, who can achieve it, how to master it, where to do it. The question isn't "What is slow living?" but instead is "What is slow living for?"

And the answer is simple: Each Other.
