When the wind starts to bite, don't you just want to curl up with a cup of
spiced tomato soup (above) and a good book? At a SpaRitual event I attended last week, Carl Honoré of the book
In Praise of Slowness spoke about our rapid-fire culture (What? Really? Wait, what are we talking about again?) and the inaccurate conception of slowness as a lack of productivity. I think I understand. I walk so fast on my way to work that I once steamrolled right over a baby. And, if you're a member of the three-person group that spans the entire sidewalk (an approximation that takes obesity rates into consideration), I will stomp around you before turning around to shoot you my dirtiest look.
It can't be healthy.
So.
I take this to mean that we should sit and do nothing this weekend.
Enjoy!

I was just raving about how I needed to have a grilled cheese and tomato soup like now. It's so cozy and rejuvinating, for whatever reason.

This is so true. When we slow down enough to enjoy ceremony or rituals, we find new time within the moments we so furiously blew through before.
Good for you. Although, sometimes people deserve the hard looks.
