Sloth-like, slow start preferred,

Considering my natural state — maybe everyone’s natural state?! — I think about Rick Rubin, music producer, music executive, creativity guru, his way,

Slow Start, essentially wake without an alarm, when the body & mind are ready, first and foremost SLOWLY awake, ease into the day,

And then outside and into nature as early as possible once you’re awake and vertical, this his preferred, my preferred too, honestly,

Alas it is most often not so; instead, as I make way as an operations guy in the business world and a parent of three kids in middle and high school, most every day is not a slow start, but rather a “wake up early and you’re already behind” sort of start …

But I dream of the time, and I know the time will come, when the norm, the every day is, sloth-like,

SLOW START.
