Wonder Increases As Speed Decreases makes me think slowly and deeply. I wonder how many times I slow down to see the sun rising and setting, the birds chirping in my backyard, or the flowers changing colors. We live in a fast moving world with a sign 'I Don't Have Time'. I used to slow down and relate to nature and human beings without rushing. I would pay my undivided attention to what was happening in the present moment and embrace it with wonderment. Walking on the fast moving lane I miss seeing the wonderful unfolding of natural beauty. I need to slow down to appreciate what David Haskell says " Wonder Increases As Speed Decreases." I have been learning the art of living, living fully in the present moment. Living this way I enjoy the wonderment of the present moment unbound by the past and the future. Daily practice of sitting quietly and letting revealed the joy and light of the now consciousness helps me to live fully.
Namaste!

So true! Many times we drive home and because we have seen it before so many times and are just trying to get home fast we totally miss things, like that the gas station was plowed down on a corner. :-) The forest idea totally true AND the Phytoncides increases our immune system, decreases stress and cortisol and sooo much more. Look at Shinrin Yoku research. What is also true is Blue Mind from water!!! See links below:
