Slow Is How We Go

They said hurry up, don't waste a second. Move it faster,

check the list. I spilled my coffee, lost my keys, and forgot why

I exist. I ran so fast, I missed the sign,

skipped the joy along the way. Turns out speed is really good at making simple

things go sideways, left mo- whoa. Pause the circus, hit the brakes. Take a breath

for goodness' sake. Funny thing about slowing down. When we slow it down,

we get more done. Less "oh no" and more "that was fun".

When we rush, we miss the view and half the things we meant
