Slow Walk

"And the slower the walk the better...

the most productive pace is a snail's pace.



A large part of [a] walk is often spent standing still.

A mile an hour may well be fast enough.

For [the] goal is different from that of the pedestrian.

It is not how far he goes that counts;

it is not how fast he goes;

it is how much he sees."

~Edwin Way Teale, Journey into Summer

"Too often I would hear men boast of the miles covered that day,

rarely of what they had seen."

-Louis L'Amour

Lord, let my walk today be slow. What am I in such a hurry for? Slow me. Still me. Remind me that is not how fast I go. But what I see. And I want to see glimpses of You.
