We live in an action-oriented society, one stressing motion and quick decisions, and often it is not until later in life that one begins to appreciate the importance of patience.
While pondering a related essay, I have been noticing how many times in my youth involved checking multiple boxes and meeting an array of deadlines.
In retrospect, I would have benefited from a frequent routine of long walks and slow cups of coffee combined with heavy doses of introspection.
Those practices once were wrongly regarded as goofing off.
That's no longer the case for me.
