Journals of Lord Malinov

the poetry of madness

and, of course, inflection

When I encountered the lesson "slow and steady wins the race," I would interject, "unless fast and steady have entered."  Humor, ar, ar.

The tortoise does not win the race because he is slow.  Steady is the key.  Steady wins the race.

The best way to remain steady is to proceed slowly.  Slow begets steady.

It has become my experience that the quickest way to anywhere comes from proceeding slowly.  Not with a dilly dally, but deliberate. 

When did society determine that speed was the key to success?  I suspect it was misinformation given by the greedy to keep the masses off the track. 

Faster, they'd scream.  We never realized that fast is unsteady and leads us backward.

That's my problem. I forget to be deliberate. I lose track of time in a daydream. My downfall...

We may select goals, but the Universe conspires to determine our destination.
