Day 319
"Reader! Fast! FAST!! Do it fast, my God . . And then a sigh followed by a slight feeling of resignation and disappointment. Again you were not fast enough! You should be fast, shouldn't you? Everybody is fast, or so it seems. Well, no, not exactly . . Some people still follow the natural rhythm of their body/mind/soul. And don't seem to be slower at all. How come? Others make such an effort and these people really don't seem to do nothing special, still they get everything done in time or faster. Faster? Do they care? My guess is they don't. Which maybe is why it seems to be so fluent what they do: they follow their intuition and instincts, listen to their body, are neither occupied with being fast nor resisting anything. When the mind is free, the body follows. It follows immediately. And their speed appears more than lightness. How about trying that? Just immerse yourself in the task at hand (or in whatever you are doing now - even resting) but do it fully! And give up on the concept of speed . . . .just let go . . ."
