Deliberate Slowness

Deliberate Slowness

As slowly as this aloe grows,

could I dare to flow that slowly

from this uncomfortable moment

into the moment that follows?

Not just slow, no, but deliberate--

willing to notice all that is here.

For so long I have trusted the part

of me who believes faster is better.

Now I’m exhausted, and of course,

I want to get over my exhaustion, fast.

Truth is, I love slow. I love the juiciness

of presence and quiet. Oh paradox.

Can’t I move fast and still feel spacious? - ROSEMERRY WAHTOLA TROMMER
