We live in a culture that mistakes speed for progress.
The faster we move, the more we seem to accomplish.
But there is a cost.
The moments that shape us, a childs expression, an unexpected idea whilst are in the shower, a subtle shift in our own emotions, rarely announce themselves
They require attention
They require a pause to notice
This often looks like, from the outside, like falling behind.
So the questions isn't whether we can afford to slow down
Its what we lose if we never do..
