“Slowing down” is not an idea
Not something ‘you’ do
It’s the breaking down of an ancient mechanism
That has it’s grips at the root
Feeding into the brain and the wiring of the nervous system
It’s a complete systemic shutdown of the old
Without the promise of the new
No installation or re-configuration
No guarantee no warranty
Slowing down is not just ‘self-care’
It’s a letting go of all that you know
All that you wanted
All that you dreamt
It’s a deep grieving of everything that could’ve been
Should’ve been would’ve been
