The young boy was impatiently running ahead. Lagging behind him, the elderly couple held hands and constantly stopped to take in the sites. They would read the signs and take pictures and discuss what they each were seeing. Growing frustrated, the boy eventually stopped and turned to them and said, “We need to go faster Papa and Gramma or we won’t get to see everything.” The old man turned to his wife and smiled. “He will learn someday that by slowing down, the quality of the places we do see is much more rewarding than how many places we see.”
😊 So sweet and true. Each era has its own wisdoms. Running fast can be
exhilarating whilst taking time to look with touch us deeper.

My son is 36 years old and part of that generation that wants to fly through life. He even listens to audio books on double speed.
