Slow Life

Today I'm reveling in my embrace of the Slow Life movement.  I have always been here, but without a cohesion as to my philosophy.  Food, clothing, parenting - all of these things seemed somehow connected, but without a term or general direction.  I'm not good with labels.  And yet, this one does pull so many things together for me.  I'm not into organics for reasons others are.  I don't cloth diaper because I'm a "hippie."  I don't wear clothes from ten years ago because I don't like them or don't care.  I don't have natural cleaning products just to save the world.  My readings of John Gatto and the like aren't just to be different and get attention.  Indeed, Being Slow strikes me as the most natural way to live.  Why would it get any attention?  I see everything I do and think and say can been seen through a Slow Life prism.  I'm not lazy.  Ha!  I'm not unproductive.  I don't value the faster, more disposable, more-more-more lifestyle.  This way didn't fit when I saw some of my behaviors and ideas as some thing people on the left would do.  My reasoning certainly doesn't fit with the things that I share with those on the right.  Go ahead, leave me behind.  I'm happy being behind.  I'm not even so much old-fashioned on the things that might appear old-fashioned.  I'm slow.
