Thank you, Pierre, for these warm words. I am a recovering hurrier. In some ways, hurrying has helped me arrive at anticipated experiences when I might otherwise have missed them. On the other hand, the journey itself should also be honored. As a counselor and counselor educator, I impart the following practical advice as it relates to anything we do: be aware. Simply being aware of hurrying or not hurrying is, I think, the path to a centered, peaceful life. Self-awareness, in this way, then, allows me to live intentionally, deliberately, and with decided purpose. Otherwise, I might just get dragged along as a lemming in the swift current of my expedient culture!
Peace and Love, JIm
