Acceptance of being wherever you are, doing whatever you are doing and however you are doing leads to a deeper state of experiencing that act. The state of slowness.
As a child, sitting on the stairs of our house, in the warm tender sunlight, I would gaze at the ants going from one place to another. This could go on for a long time. I would create characters and build stories around their existence, and it was a never-ending game for me. I was just an observer in that game. I didn’t direct their movement. I had no expectations or interest in where and how they wanted to go. I simply observed, and they did whatever they did and then that action would fit in my story. In this process, I was fully there. The smell of mud around was there, the sound of birds was there and the warmth of sunlight was there. There was no judgement, no prediction, no expectation. Just being wherever I was, doing whatever, however. There was a slowness.
