“Time slows down amid donkeys. In their company things happen quietly and methodically. Its hard to forget their innocent gaze. It’s a calm that instills calm. Your mind wanders, you dream, you go elsewhere, yet somehow you remain very present…..speed is often associated with forgetting, with avoidance, and slowness with memory, with confronting. We move slowly when we want to confront ourselves….The rush of contemporary life overwhelms our ability to observe, to hear, to step back and wonder. “ Quote from The Wisdom of Donkeys; finding tranquility in a chaotic world by Andy Merrifield.
