Walking.

Have you ever noticed how fast people are walking places? How fast you yourself are walking? What's the rush? I was walking home today, listening to my ipod. A slower song came on, that made me realise how fast I was walking, and how fast I always walk home. It's not going anywhere, there's no need for speed. So I slowed down to match the song, and the girl in front of me sped off... It was peaceful though. Walking slowly. 

I actually found it hard to stay slow. Every now and then I'd look at myself, and I'd be walking faster again. What really is the big mindless rush? Just slow down. Everything needs to slow down. Keep calm and kill your probation worker, I say. No seriously though, every afternoon I speed home, speed up the stairs, speed change, speed eat... What for? Today I got home and put my bag down before going inside, kept my ipod on a nice song and stood. No joke, just stood on a high point in my garden and felt the sun. Took my time. It changes your whole mood.
