..slow

Circumstances make it that hearing or thinking about the word 'slow' always brings a smile to my lips. There was a particular moment, when me, Patrizia and Sudesh finished the tai-chi and qi-gong course. Because tai-chi is about moving slowly, attentively, letting go, banishing force and acting from the very bodily weakness that incurs. That day, we moved slowly towards the exit, were slow to get to the restaurant, eat a slow pizza..and getting a lot of ideas about how people move and how is this related to time and the rhythm of going through the day, even an idea about a short film about slow and fast people. Since then I had a lot of time to come back to the fast rhythm which gets me through the day and eventually the weeks, the months and has as result premium efficiency in professional life. Once in a while, since my office is at fourth floor and an incidental tree has branches large enough to reach to my window, I get lost in watching pigeons absorbed themslves in the activity of staying on a branch. Then everything gets slow for moments in which my efficiency span lowers dramatically.
