there is no time to hurry

slow down

be attentive to people and the way they
say your name
look into your eyes
avoid your words
live their life

you do not exist in solitude
you are not only your best friend or your worst enemy
but also the mountains and the trees
and the road you choose to walk on

slow down

and breath

there is no time to hurry
