Hi Allan, this is a very insightful piece -- from the beautiful poem at the beginning to discussing nature's pace and how we need patience in order to appreciate time passing slowly. I think so many of us are in a rush to get things done, to get things over with, to accomplish our goals. Some people just rush through life.
Also, and this relates to my art world: I paint with oils, and one thing one needs when oil painting is ample patience. Because the colors take awhile to dry. So it may take a week before I can start reworking a painting, but this is precisely what I love about my chosen medium. The slowness of it all. And a week to think about how the painting can be improved.
