Through the long straightaway in the living room and the large windows at the back, I would come to a state of mind sometimes like this: I am in a hurry!
But I am not in a hurry. I want to do three things today:
Go to the cinema.
Read an entire newspaper.
Open the curtains at the back of the room.
These steps will take time to be effective, but once they are complete, they will have a measurable effect on the way things are done in my home, in my life, and in the world around me.
