You can start right where you are:
Your home at 2167 Spring Avenue
You can invite people over
To an evening’s introduction
How speed is ruining us
How slowness can save us (heal us)
You can offer a weekend slow-shop
On relearning how to do one thing at a time
Or walking unhurriedly down Flora Avenue
And noticing what we notice
(With cell phone left behind)
With our own two eyes
Or preparing a lunch
That’s the quintessence of slow-food
You can offer a course that meets weekly
That goes deeply into the theory and practice of slowness
How we drive and how we walk
How we eat and how we talk
Getting disconnected from technology
For a few hours here and there
Exercising our slow muscles
So we can become stronger, calmer
Seeing how silence
Can enhance our slowness
You have everything you need
Experience insight passion
You can start this Institute today
I will be your student
