In December the Flying Carpet
loves to be the still point
in the midst of holiday madness...
"In an age of speed,
I begin to think,
nothing could be more invigorating
than going slow.
In an age of distraction,
nothing could feel more luxurious
than paying attention.
And in an age of constant movement,
nothing is more urgent
than sitting still."
-Pico Iyer in The Art of Stillness
A wise man once sent me this quote
and it keeps returning to me again and again:
Don’t even listen;
simply wait, be quiet,
still and solitary.
The world will offer itself to be unmasked.
It has no choice;
it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
-Kafka
