About Inspired by "In Praise of Slow" by Carl Honoré.

I quote his website:

What is the Slow Movement?

It is a cultural revolution against the notion that faster is always better. The Slow philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail’s pace. It’s about seeking to do everything at the right speed. Savoring the hours and minutes rather than just counting them. Doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible. It’s about quality over quantity in everything from work to food to parenting.


I was introduced to him by a dear friend that I miss a lot...

Enjoy!

PS: Only levels and a slight edge burning were applied.

:-), muy buena la foto pero interesante el about, ya he escuchado sobre el slow movement, aunque a decir verdad a mí me enloquecería, la ansiedad me mataría!, yo soy del fast!...:-) La vida es demasiado corta para no vivirla con intensidad.

Un abrazo!

Francisco N-G   {K:26931} 6/17/2008
Antes yo vivía atrapado en la velocidad e intensidad del momento... He cambiado, amigo, y ahora veo que necesito vivir con profundidad, donde la adrenalina es incompatible. :-)

Cuídate mucho...
