Slow Down, You Move Too Fast

Quote de jour
"Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you are riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision on reality, wake up and live!"

I came across this group of signs and chuckled at the 5 mph, then stopped in my tracks. Slow down. No, really slow down, and I did. Instead of rushing to my next appointment, I paused to reflect: on the transient nature of ripples in water, of water mirroring sky and flowing into foam. With every observation, I felt my center slowing down to earth. I snapped some pics, watched the ducks and got every done on my to-do list while humming the 

59th Street Bridge Song by Simon and Garfunkle.

Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobblestones.
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.
