Slowness means cleaving
perfectly to time,
so closely that the
seconds fall one by one,
drop by drop like the
steady dripping of a
tap on stone.
This stretching of time
deepens space.
It is one of the
secrets of walking:
a slow approach to
landscapes that gradually
renders them familiar.
Like the regular encounters
that deepen friendship.
