My Hero Is Slow


I sat beside a survivor this morning. The waves came, “lazy . . . half-assed . . . unacceptable . . . disorganized . . . off-task . . . stop cracking your knuckles . . . start doing your homework . . . listen to the teacher . . . don’t listen to that video. . . stay away from him . . . pay attention to her . . . “ On and on, but he stood. He didn’t run, he didn’t fight; he was slow.

Slow to anger

Slow to defend

Slow with excuses

Slow to criticize

Slow to complain

He was slow.

Maybe, we should all be slow.
