The Slow Life

It’s the small victories of the present moment, sometimes

Mental gymnastics are ruining our capacity for empathy

If it’s important to you to write, you’ll find the time in unlikely places

Your priorities may change, but one thing always stays the same

By myself, at my place.

There’s a party in 1903

And I realized that in fact, I’m not a hamster

How can the quality of our interaction be connected with my ability to keep up with everything on TV?

That’s not why you watch the movie or read the book

A quick lesson in conflict resolution that many of us could use

I dare tnplug and slow-cook your life

Healing vicariously through others, and expecting them to do it better

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but is it worth a thousand sunsets?

But set your alarm and get up early

They hold the secret guide to connection

They are sorry to see me go

An entire industry built around telling us what to do and how to do it

How bookshop.org combined sweet talk and high pressure to get me to buy more books from them

The search for the right words to describe…something. Or everything.

Time appears out of nowhere

And the joy of missing out

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Bruce Lee said so

And see ya later, all you subscription services in my little empire

That sounds more final than it was meant to
