Slower

I am fond of the African proverb (or at least I was told it is African), “There is such urgency that we had better slow down.” It seems to me that everyone is in a hurry for some reason. Cars drive too fast. Shoppers are in such a hurry that grocery carts become dangerous. I can’t even walk the neighborhood without some runner or fast walker motivating me to step off the sidewalk. What is the hurry? My Dad would have said, “Son looks like that person needed to leave home earlier.” I am an advocate of slower or at least leave home in plenty of time.
