Slowness

As long as we keep on considering “time as money”, we will empower industry. As long as we put quantity above quality, we will continue producing waste and expel craftmenship and therefor manmade beauty out of our world.

If we would allow ourselves to grow organically, we could reduce the amount of burn-outs and levels of stress. Our knowledge, our experience and our spirit, our homes and their gardens, the beings we love, they all need the time it takes to develop, just as in Nature. If we speed up the process, we create weak, underdeveloped, low quality products.

It’s okay to stop doing and just be
