Why are we always in a hurry? Rush.Rush.Rush! We scurry from here and there. We play computer games and then- quick click- we watch TV. We eat fast food. Everyone tells us to make it snappy Hurry up! Time is flying! Step on it! There's so little time just to be with friends, to watch a sunset or gaze at a star- filled sky. Ah, what we could learn- even if just a little- from the gentle sloth who slowly, slowly, slowly crawls along a branch of a tree, eats a little, sleeps a lot, and lives in peace.
