“Fast and Slow do more than just describe a rate of change. They are shorthand for ways of being, or philosophies of life. Fast is busy, controlling, aggressive, hurried, analytical, stressed, superficial, impatient, active, quantity-over-quality. Slow is the opposite: calm, careful, receptive, still, intuitive, unhurried, patient, reflective, quality-over-quantity. It is about making real and meaningful connections—with people, culture, work, food, everything. The paradox is that Slow does not always mean slow … It is also possible to do things quickly while maintaining a Slow frame of mind.” – Carl Honoré #parenting

It took me a long time to realize that not everything in life is meant to be a beautiful story.
Not every person we feel something deep and moving with is meant to make a home within us , is meant to be a forever.
Sometimes , people come into our lives to teach us how to love and sometimes people come into our lives to teach us how not to love .
How not to settle , how not to shrink ourselves ever again .
Yes , sometimes people leave .. but that's okay ,
because their lessons always stay , and that is what matters .
That is what remains ..

“The idea of the modern has been superseded; the challenge today is to return to the small scale, the handmade, to local distribution – because today what we call ‘modern’ is out of date.”

“The kindest people are not born that way, they are made. They are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark, who have fought to turn every loss into a lesson. The kindest people don’t just exist - they choose to soften where circumstance has tried to harden them, they choose to believe in goodness because they have seen firsthand why compassion is so necessary. They have seen firsthand why tenderness is so important in this world.”

I don't know why I never thought of this before but I'm telling you in case someone needs to be reminded. Everyone living in a region that gets seasonally cold should have a hot water bottle in your emergency supply kit. We haven't had any heat for the last 24 hours--the repair man just arrived. It's 43 degrees outside. I am all bundled up sitting at the computer with a hot water bottle in my lap and it's all I really need.
