In this internet age where increasing speed seems to be one of our very important goal, isn’t it amazing to note that many other live forms with a much slower pace still exist?
i am often inspired when seeing those grey pigeons (which often give a “gu gu” sound) live alongside with the very agile sparrows. Those gu gus have wings but seldom fly. They walk most the time. Yet have no problem at all surviving at the same place with sparrows, which are more capable in getting foods.
Only recently do my daughter and i also noticed how they defend their territory : by standing boldly , calmly, undeterred, look us in the eyes, then add some sound! hahahaha
Anyone who has seen how an egret fish will also know that these super calm and still creatures can stand / remain in a certain posture for a long time before a sudden strike, that normally is successful.
While not hungry, egrets spend most time seemingly enjoy looking at the sea, fulfilled and peaceful.
Tortoise, spend much time being still, enjoy sunbathing…
Many other creatures do not move fast : pandas, sloth, elephants…
Maybe this is why we can be so mesmerized by simply looking at these wonderful beings, as they remind us of our essence that is so often overlooked / covered up : stillness, awareness, consciousness…
May we all learn to slow down a little, have more gaps in the midst of all hustle bustle, connect with our true essence more often…. Then this world will certainly become a more loving place.
