Slow

Boy, is that ever the word of the day

(this day, yesterday, the days of my life):

Slow.

I could itemize the decades of

Fast

that signaled my life,

but that would get us nowhere.

For is that not the irony?

The faster you go,

the more nowhere you end up.

 

So I'll not review those long years of

Fast,

but will bring us

(not quickly but in due course) to

Slow

and its life-changing properties.

Detractors tell me sometimes that

I haven't changed at all.

That I am still doing, still running,

still too fast.

How little they know.

How little they see.

My inner engine barely moves.

I sit and contemplate

the workings of my soul.

I am still.
