It's easy to think that traveling at the speed of love is all about slowing down. But the truth is that if we slowed down too much we'd get nothing-- including loving-- done. This great story of yours demonstrates that sometimes moving at the speed of love entails speeding up some things. You are rushing back for the meeting, for example, moving at a pace that wouldn't be required of you if you'd stayed home and taken the easy way out. I wonder if the speed of love isn't a constant number. It's more like the speed limit. The number attached to the speed limit changes. In some places it's 65 MPH and in other places it's 25 MPH. There is this driving concept behind a speed limit: that driving concept is safety. As a general rule, we need to slow down to obey the speed limit because our natural tendency is to exceed it. Similarly, as a general rule, we need to slow down to move at the speed of love. The thoughts I got out of your blogs is that there ought to be a driving concept behind the speed with which we live our lives. The point isn't always to be going slow. The point is to be moving at whatever pace allows us to best practice love.
