SLOW

"I have another modest proposal to make. Nothing too grand, just a simple notion that might prove helpful to anyone trying to live a more intentional spiritual life. My idea is this: declare one day a week as your slow day. The rest of the week, you can run along at the usual hectic pace of our generation, but give yourself and your family one day to move according to a much older clock. Take time for breakfast together. Walk somewhere instead of drive. Spend some time in the park or garden. Have a long cup of tea and a chat. Have a sit down dinner. Read before bed. Slow down for one day and give yourself time to just be you."
The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston, Choctaw
