There's a kind of speed that passes for responsibility. It looks like hustle. It looks like competence. It sounds like, "I'm on it." But much of the time, that speed isn't strength at all. It's anxiety dressed up as efficiency.
Often, it's the nervous system trying to stay ahead of discomfort.
Think about water. On the surface, movement is easy. You can skim across it, splash around, cover distance quickly. What you don't get, though, is information. Depth asks for something different. It asks you to slow down long enough to actually see what's there.
