Taking It Slow
In a world of constant communication, over-scheduled calendars, and the tired cliche of wanting more hours in the day, sometimes it just helps to slow... down... We used to find pleasure in slowly discovering, but demand for instant gratification has prioritized choice over chance and waste over frugality. So for the next two weeks, we'll be writing about how you can slow down so much that you're doing nothing, the basics of the Slow Food Movement including a few recipes, how some people walk for days to slow down, and the glories of finding peace in your own place
, all the while listening to our exclusive Krrb playlist with an ode to taking it slow.
