Hurry Sickness: Our computers, our movies, our sex lives, our prayers — they all run faster now than ever before. And the more we fill our lives with time-saving devices and time-saving strategies, the more rushed we feel.
-- James Gleick, Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything
This just doesn't feel true, it IS true. I, for one, am likely a bit 'sick' in this regard. I have to choose space and choose slow, as it doesn't often choose me (although I fear I may have missed its 'selection' of me recently, during my post-knee-surgery season). In other words, I have to build it in. If I don't, I start to feel a kind of nauseousness in spirit.
I awoke this morning feeling the effects of this illness. I need to go to do something...slowly.
