To be slow is not merely to decrease the pace of life. It’s about taking the time to reconsider our actions and think more deeply and responsibly about how we live.



We want to nourish ourselves on what Thoreau called “the tonic of wildness” and live evermore in the moment so that we can inhabit an existence that is “more elastic, more starry, more immortal.” Or in the words of Rachel Carson, the mother of the green movement: “One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, ‘What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?’”
