I wrote this in some five minutes..last night,almost asleep when I suddenly remembered that I had promised a friend to write something about 'slow'. Sadly he wanted something negative about the word, so I guess this wasn't useful to him. But that's because I like 'slow'.
Slow is the droplet grazing down the glass sill...
Slow is how my lips part as I look at it
The sun draws colors I haven't seen before
With growing awe I catch it in my palm
And taste it with my tongue…
And lo! It’s gone!
Killing the moment forever
The rain fell many a times after
But that droplet of yore it never came back…

Slow is enjoying the journey, not hitting the destination. Slow is experiencing the struggle, not attaining your goal. Slow is living your life, not just waiting for death.
