Faster? Faster and faster? Peter Kottlorz found in a bookstore, an Irish prayer what about "fast moving" in our time very well expresses the following:
"Slow me down Lord," it says, "Lord make me slow.
Slow down, slow down me. Calm
the heavy shocks of my heart by calming my thoughts.
fixing me with the vision of eternal measure time.
Give me, amidst the distraction of my days, the rest of the everlasting hills.
release the tension of my nerves with a view to the smooth flow of the currents.
Help me to experience the revitalizing power of sleep and teach me the art of taking one-minute breaks.
make me slow to look at a flower, to chat with a friend or read a few lines in a book.
remind me every day, that there's more to life than increasing its speed.
Let me look into the branches of large old trees and know that they have grown slowly and well.
make me slow my Lord and animate, so I my roots into the ground to sink the permanent values of life.
grow with that, I, the stars of my greater purpose contrary.
make me slow Lord, make me slow, brake me calm down. "
