This is something I wrote awhile back, first to a friend through instant messanger and then I saved it on my computer. Just thought it was interesting.
What I learned from a squirrel:
I was walking to Weller...and a squirrel ran by....
And stopped at the base of a huge tree....
And just stayed there for a LONG time not moving at all.
I was like, weirdo. Why aren't you moving at all?
And then I walked more and saw that there was another squirrel around the tree.
And I thought, man, that'd be sweet. Squirrels can take the time to fully assess every situation before dashing away. They pause for a LONG time to consider and sense everything.
We're running running running all the time and we never slow down to assess all the possibilities....
Mostly because we feel that we have to keep running and running to keep up with the rest of the running world.
And I don't like this mentality. I know that there are places were time is viewed very differently.
I'd like to try out some of those places.
