There is a secret bond between slowness and memory,

between speed and forgetting.

what no one yet has seen,

but to think what nobody yet has thought

about that which everybody sees.

Fear less, hope more,

Eat less, chew more,

Whine less, breathe more,

Talk less, say more,

Love more, and all good things will be yours.

Churches call ministers, but it takes time to grow a pastor.
