“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.
