Slow By Nature is a concept to be held sacred. It’s an acquired skill that most will never truly master. It’s a higher ethereal plane that one does not simply arrive at. It is Nirvana. Yes, heading out the door without regard for speed and data will lead you down the right path, like how sitting down to meditate will get you started. But being Slow By Nature is a concept that can take a lifetime to master.
The perfect route, the right gear, where you’ll stop for coffee, the weather, what time of day it is, what phase the moon is in, where mars is in relation to the sun… these are but a few things to consider in this metaphysical ascension. Distractions are abundant. Sirens pulling you away from enlightenment. They call to you in the wind, “check your data”, “check your phone”, “go faster”, “go harder”. You hear them, but you don’t oblige, you are Slow By Nature. Your Ocean and San gear serves as a reminder of the journey you are on.
You are here to enjoy this Ride, not to be burdened by thoughts of performance. Nirvana is achieved by eliminating greed, hatred, ignorance, and aerodynamics. To be concerned with heart rate, speed, and calories burned, is to be burdened with the superficial. Be Slow By Nature and set your mind free.
