Whatnot

I was going to post something from my head...but instead I'll leave you with this:

"Why are we always in a hurry?
Rush. Rush. Rush.
We scurry from here to there.
We play computer games and then -
quick! click! - we watch TV. We eat fast food.
Everyone tells us to make it snappy!
Hurry up! Time is flying! Step on it!
There's so little time just to be with friends,
to watch the sunset or gaze at the star-filled sky.
Ah, what we could learn - even if just a little-
from the gentle sloth who slowly, slowly, slowly
crawls along a branch of a tree,
eats a little, sleeps a lot,
and lives in peace."

Eric Carle from the back cover of the picture book
"Slowly, Slowly, Slowly," said the Sloth.
