Slow Down

How often do we forget to slow down and get severely engaged with something?

Off late, I have found myself losing the ability to be patient with regular things- everything has become instant and spontaneous:

Amazon one day delivery, dominos 30 mins delivery, shows without advertisements, instant messages and the list goes on.

I notice a sense of hurry everywhere around me- Clients who want therapy to succeed in one session, cars that don’t want to slow down, songs that have a constant upbeat. And this hurry is scary because a lot of times we don’t even know where we are hurried towards.

To pause the clock for myself, I took up the challenge to start a slow paced painting, and trust me, the end result isn’t as beautiful as the process of slowing down was.

For a long time, I haven’t seen anything come to live so slowly and gradually and I couldn’t have wished for a better way to end the year 2022!
