The Slowist Manisfesto

A call to slow down, make love, build community, dream together in the slowest lane, in your arms.

Manifesto for Slowness

 

Let’s take our time

Eat slow

Dream slow

Sleep slow

Walk slow

Play slow

Make love slow

Smile long and slow

Meditate slow

Slowriders all

 

Slow time for the poor

Slow time for the not-so-poor

Slow down time

Catch yourself in the curve of space

Catch me in the curves of your body

 

Slowly rise up

Slowly drink our water

Slowly look at each other

Infinity is the finite plus finite plus the finite, us

 

So we have time, more than we know what to do with

 

Slow heart beat

Slow planting

Slow tilling

Late blooming

Slow spring

Slow summer

Slow fall

Slow winter

Where snow snows slowly

So we can see each snowflake into infinity

Slow melting

Slow transformations

Slowly flower for the land

Slowly curve into each other

Slowly trespass the limits

Slowly make this land ours

Slow nation

Slow down people

Who's in a hurry

Who's rushing us to war

Who's rushing us to work

Who's inventing faster downloads, gigabytes, DSL lines, when there's still breadlines

Slower than analog

Slower than gut strings vibrating in your ears

Slow dance

Slow chance

Slow revolution to reach each other

Take our time to take our place in each other's arms
