 Slow living

In the past few days I have felt an intense need to (re)focus. The constellation of projects, connections, and other commitments has grown too large and has become more challenging to handle. For me, the wrong path in this situation is to be more productive, efficient, and get things done. In such situations, I spend more time contemplating what needs to be shed and where my energy needs to be directed. 

Being of deep transformations is not necessarily always slow. It doesn't have to be either/or. Sometimes it's intense. Some days I feel creative and at one with my writing. Other days I don't produce anything, just learn. Today I spent time with the sea and decided to make a salad with some radishes grown here in Finland. One can also eat the green parts, so I will use the whole plants for the salad. In the morning I picked more birch leaves to make tea.
