Somewhere on the internet, there is a wonderful page on living our life and doing our actions at a slower pace. Less is more. Maybe I will find that page soon . . . or next week . . . what is the hurry . . .
I remember living in a monastic setting, Buddhists saying, 'I am so busy'. They stood quietly thinking of the few things they had to do, walking slowly to their hectic stillness. Still busy but happier . . .
Fast & slow can be quite similar when one is present and open. It is interesting to examine what IS actually fast or slow. Within a meditative practise these movements are just the passage of endless nano moments whereas outside of meditation they can garner a distinctly different effecting enertia. BUT My personal choice is also leaving some daily space for nothing at all.
I've been out of work for almost six months now... and I'm staying with my parents. I can attest that if they didn't drive me crazy I'd be more than happy to be able to just slowly go about my day reading sutras, and studying to my heart's content. I dread the day I have to jump back into the rat-race that's for sure.

Laziness is starting to get too good of a reputation,
taking a day of rest and doing nothing is not
getting enough of a good reputation.
imo
What do I know?
It just annoys women to see
men doing nothing. lololololol
