Slower

You have to admire the patience. This is real Slow writing. No shortcuts with this technology. You probably won't find any petroglyphs today. But you might find some time. To make something out of. Doesn't really matter if nobody else knows what it means. Might just mean a nice day.

Did you ever wonder what's going on when the egg white turns ... white? If knowing about this doesn't spoil the purity of your just-watching experience, press Play and I'll tell you. Or go crack an egg into a hot frying pan and watch the real thing. Nice thing on a Sunday morning.

Feels pretty good, waking up to the first day of Spring. Be getting warmer, not colder. Lighter, not darker. Greener, not browner. Sooner or later there'll be flowers. Go look for your first daffodil. Or Press Play. It'll only take a minute.

Always surprises me how long it takes from the time the bottom of the sun hits the horizon until the top disappears. Two and a half minutes. Really. Press Play. You'll see. C'mon, you have an extra hour before dark. Settle into slow motion, like the sun.

I was looking for camellias in all the wrong places. Peering through gates. Around walls. Then I looked up. Not an appeal to the heavens. I just looked up. There they were. Sometimes you just have to turn your head. Almost Spring. Press Play and take a look.

A garden maze like they have in the gardens of those 17th century mansions in Charleston. If you don't have a maze, take a walk in the woods. Someplace you can actually get lost. Really focuses you. But relaxes you at the same time. Take a minute. Press Play. For a clue.

This is where I want to be. And I am. Take a long walk to something beautiful. Like this. Take a minute. Press Play. You don't need an ocean. But it's nice to have one. Once in a while. That's my theory, anyway.

I got my mid-winter flower fix in Hawai'i last week. Bougainvillea everywhere. Whole walls of it. If you've been staring at a lot of white snow, it's probably good to remind your brain about colors. Real deep colors. Thought you might like some. It's Sunday. Take a minute. Just Press Play.

Don't want to slip-slide or ankle-twist your way up or down this wicked steep trail. You're focused on the five or ten feet right in front of you. Back down on the beach, you see to the edge of the earth. Exercise your farsighted muscles. Press Play. You'll see.

Wanna know what Slow is? You're sitting here on the beach for a week. You think your life is in super slow motion. Then you see this guy and you think, OK, I guess I need another day or two to really slow down. Take a minute for a life-long lesson. Just Press Play.nn
