Most everyone knows the story of the tortise and the hare where the hare challanges the totrise to a race thinking that he can win because of his speed. Not true, as the hare was a lazy one while the totrise was mindful and steady, which allowed him to win.
It’s something that I noticed while I was driving. Everyone is like the hare (mostly), and I’m the totrise. This means that I try to keep within the speed limit (only five over even on the highway), stay to the right-most lane, and expect when I need it, try not pass (at time it requires going over 10 miles sometimes- I was already caught for that earlier this year), follow the traffic laws including using the turn signels (even in parking lots!), and keep at least one extra car length on top the recamanded distance of every ten miles, one car length- combinded with keeping at speed limit, it grows to bigger distances.
These mindful actions allow me to be in the moment and also give me to have the reaction that is measured in seconds, not milliseconds. That reaction time is enough for me to slow down without breaking and break only when it’s needed. Less stress for both the driver and the breaks!
I also learned to react to those who don’t keep their distance; when there is space, I move and let them pass.
From what I read about some of the starbeings, Sirans tend to be the methodical beings, and as one, I do find peace and love in it. It allows the ego to do what it’s meant to do – be the computer; process and store information. I think that’s what the Buddha was trying to teach us before it was distorted.
Slow and steady does win the race, and it also creates peace within.
A side story here:
I’m a member of Ena Magon’s wisdom circle and her orcale cards did give a message on the topic of being methodical and mindful; where time doesn’t exist as it’s a construct to hold us down. There is always time for everything. What are you waiting for? If that is stopping you. But if you think you don’t have enough time, let go of what is not needed. Don’t overbook yourself. Be mindful of your actions and just go. It will all go well for you, and you will be in peace.
