"The soul requires duration of time -- rich, thick, deep, velvety time -- and it thrives on rhythm. Soul cant be hurried or harried .... We may go through many events in the day and experience nothing because the soul has not had the opportunity to feel them from many different points of view."

-- Robert Sardello

Soul cannot exist when our connections in life remain superficial. An experience of soul requires that we take time to be fully present to the details of our lives.

Explore what happens when you take the time to STOP and PAY ATTENTION. When we choose to slow down and really experience the qualities of our lives, we get a whole new perspective on what livings all about.

"We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery."

-- H. G. Wells

"The well of Providence is deep. Its the buckets we bring to it that are small."

-- Mary Webb

Before I started learning to take things slow, I tried to do everything fast, and ended up doing most things halffast!  wink.gif

There's a certain feeling that I relate to when I'm in the present and enjoying the simple pleasures of life and all that nature has to offer. When "It" comes across I smile and remember a particular spring day when I ran out the back door thru the woods towards the playground where all my friends were, just after being on restriction for a week. Spring is in the air and my feet are barely touching the ground as I run under the 100 year old oaks past the daffodils. I've been able to preserve that memory and feeling now for about 40 years, and I get "It" every time I through a leg over one of my motorcycles.
