A little like making love.

My Italian true love helps to slow me down. Because she’s sort of  a speed demon. She tends to do too many things, too fast.  So I try to apply the brakes.  Go slow, slow and slower, I advise.  But the best way for me to be effective is to set an example. By living slowly myself.  That’s better than preaching the slow way of life. Just live it. Others may observe.  And see that’s the best way to savor the good things of life. Make them last. For instance, my true love will consume her supper in 15 minutes, or less.  That’s barely a start for me.  I’ll take an hour, or maybe even 90 minutes.  Leisurely. Slowly. I don’t eat any more than my true love.  But I make it last.  A little like making love. –Jim Broede
