"A firm defense of quiet material pleasure is the only way to oppose the universal folly of Fast Life."- slow food international
It has become the prerogative of the American way of life to work 9-5 with only 2 weeks of vacation. To that I say, put down your fast food, get out of your car, sit at your dinner table with your family and friends, and sloooowww dowwwwn.
Here in the Convent, slow living is a mere circumstance of the lifestsyle in Bolsena. Slow Food is not just a concept, but somthing practiced on a daily basis. I owe my sanity at present to the wonderful people in Italy who have made it possible to experience such a wonderful place, and to remind me that even when living slowly, you can affect change.
To those back home, try hard to ease the pace of life, preferably near meal time. Enjoy the intersection of pleasure and gastronomy afforded by a slower lifestyle.
Vive la Snail!
