Slow

Added 23 June 2003

Choose a task.
Or an event.
Slow it down
Really.
Slow.
It.
Down.

This isn't instant replay.
Don't think of memories.
Do something here and now.
Slow it down.
Washing dishes.
Taking a shower.
The more common
The better.

Watch how your skin stretches.
When you rub a towel over it.
Pay attention to how.
The hair bends back.

Slow the pace.
Of your lungs.
Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Breath in.

Breathe out.

llow nothing to move fast.
That you have control of.

When you do this.
You just might learn.
What it truly is.
To do dishes.
You might find yourself.
Improving.
You might focus yourself.
Feel those hairs bristle.
Count them.
You have time.
Slow it down.

Really.

Slow.

It.

Down.
