If you want to learn patience in a world where impatience is the norm
Read a wordy book, a lengthy one, in a physical form
In a world with dwindling spans of attention
Write in a notebook what you observe, slowly, deliberately, with intention
If you are thinking of someone, from sending an instant message refrain
Send a card carefully picked out , inscribe your message in handwriting plain
Slow down, be old-fashioned, occasionally leave behind
The convenience of modern technology, rest your overstimulated mind
*
In a digital world go analog, in a fast world, go slow
You will thank yourself, the results will show
Through improved quality of life, through greater satisfaction
Through more attentiveness to the world, through enhanced interactions
With the people around you-the way you were meant to be
Surrounded by people and nature, not screens and technology
*
You have made life more efficient, but lost meaning along the way
Make life more meaningful, one step at a time, every day
Passion...unbridled
