Time for a thought

On the Mary Engelbreit calendar at the office, today's page shows a little girl slouched comfortably against a grandfather clock, unconcernedly contemplating her nails. The thought is "An unhurried sense of time is in itself a form of wealth." -Bonnie Friedman

I thought about that in my current context of beyond-critical deadlines and cascading computer failures. I thought about the few times in recent years when I have had an unhurried sense of time and how truly rich and luxuriant that indulgence is. I thought about how it would feel to smack that little girl really hard.
