Do you feel that your days pass too quickly? Do you wish you could slow things down? Maybe get more pleasure out of each moment?<\/p>\n
Antonia Malchik (A Walking Life<\/em>) says that daily walks will help: \u201cWhen we walk, time slows down, and our multitasking brains rest and reconnect with our creative selves\u2014We become more human.\u201d<\/p>\n Frederick Gros (A Philosophy of Walking<\/em>) concurs: \u201cDays of walking are very long: they make you live longer because you have allowed every hour, every minute, every second to breathe, to deepen.\u201d Walking \u201cstretches time,\u201d making \u201cthe seconds fall one by one, drop by drop like the steady dripping of a tap on stone.\u201d<\/p>\n Gros calls walking \u201ca good slowness,\u201d whose opposite is not speed but haste. He says it is an illusion to say that speed \u201csaves\u201d time. \u201cHaste and speed accelerate time, which passes more quickly, and two hours of hurry shorten a day.\u201d<\/p>\n So when I catch myself saying I don\u2019t have time for walking, I\u2019ll remind myself of the truth:<\/p>\n I don\u2019t have time not to walk!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you feel that your days pass too quickly?
