Speechless!

I was not doing good....was not keeping well...had lots of questions in my mind and was very sad...

Didn't have anyone to talk to...never have been a good talker...

Was aimlessly roaming around at a certain shopping mall....with blurred eyes...a heavy heart and an empty head...

...when I came across a certain hoarding of sorts with a lot written on it...

Something stood out from the hoarding

SLOW UP

I literally slowed up and began reading through it..
By the time I came towards the last line...I was crying...oblivious to the fact that I was being stared at...
Why?? Because the questions knocking at the walls of my cranium were being answered...just like that...as if (although I didn't have anyone to talk to) someone was watching over and was listening to me all this while..

The snap below was my 4th attempt at my mobile's camera because I was trembling so...

What the questions and answers were, are beyond the scope of Dear Speechless...

The board was placed outside the TURTLE showroom (hence the title)...

You are fast.
So fast that you stop for nothing.
You whiz past the world,
The Sunsets, Street Musicians, a Monet,
Whipped cream cupcakes,
New Bookstores, Old friends, Sandpipers on the beach, stand up Comedians and empty highways.
Everything is a blur.
You are stuck in fast forward.
An ultimate rushaholic. Success seeker
Going through his emotions.
Racing through life rather than actually living it.
And suddenly its all over.

SLOW UP

Break away from the breakneck pace.
Uncomplicate. Untie. Unwind.
Find time to find yourself.
Breathe, don't just inhale. Feel.
Don't just touch.
Find, don't just look.
Live every second, don't just count them.
Stand in a rushing stream rather than rush hour traffic.
Give a genuine response rather than a quick answer.
Seek a real connection rather than a mere plug point.
Slow up. Because the earth took billions of years to form.
And you took nine months to come to being.

Slow up. Because the best things in life take their own sweet time.
