At full speed everything’s a blur. Slow down and the road starts giving you information.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Speed costs you detail. Moving fast, you take in only the broad shape of things, which is fine when the route is known and expensive when it is not. Most of what would have told you something was available the whole time, and you were simply going too quickly to read it.

Pick one thing you usually rush and do it deliberately slowly this week. A conversation, a meal, the first ten minutes of work. Notice what becomes visible that you have been going past for months.
