Hear this urgent message for all of us: we need to learn that speed, and more speed, are NOT solutions to everything!
There are things that cannot be hurried: the acquaintance that deepens into friendship, the mind that seeks knowledge and wisdom, the healing that follows bereavement, the time for memories stored up from a lifetime of experience.
Perhaps this prayer by O.L. Crain will help slow us down:
Remind me each day that the race is not always to the swift and that there is more to life than increasing its speed. Slow me down, God, and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life's enduring values, that I may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny.
In friendship,
Richard
