Each day on our way to the plaza principal (the central park or meeting area), we would pass the same sleeping dog,lying in the middle of the same sidewalk. And every day we would step over him, turn to each other and say, `HE`S got the right idea!` My travels in Central and South America were a wonderful lesson in slowing down. Siestas, plazas that were full in the middle of the day with people from all walks of life chatting, people pulling their rockers out into the streets in the warm evenings to visit and watch life go by. I agree that we seem to have forgotten, in our unquenchable thirst for the almighty dollar, to slow down, breathe, and practice aimlessness.
