The slow manifesto:
We shall not flag or fail. We shall slow down in the office, and on the roads. We shall slow down with growing confidence when all those around us are in a shrill state of hyperactivity (signifying nothing). We shall defend our state of calm, whatever the cost may be. We shall slow down in the fields and in the streets, we shall slow down in the hills, we shall never surrender!
A bit tongue in cheek (or maybe just cheeky) but this website [SlowDownNow.org] for the iindm (International Institute of Not Doing Much) contains a wealth of information on slowing down.
Since the theme of this week has been slowing down and the slow movement, I figured it would be a good resource. Join the iindm army and you are entitled to use one of their SLOW badges (yeah, I know ‘badges, we don’t need no stinkin’ badges’).
Also from the site:
If you can slow down when all around you are speeding up, then you’re one of us. Be proud that you are one of us and not one of them. For they are fast, and we are slow. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing slowly. Some are born to slowness—others have it thrust upon them. And still others know that lying in bed with a morning cup of tea is the supreme state for mankind.
Take a look and let me know what you think
