Slow thanks to Mad Gringo
My bamboo shirt arrived today. It’s not a shirt made out of bamboo. That would be uncomfortable. No, this is a patterned bamboo Hawaiian shirt. It’s from Mad Gringo, a commentator on this site and a man with a deep commitment to slow.
As soon as I put it on I could feel its relaxing effect. In fact, I had to lie down on the sofa with a cup of tea to really appreciate how slow it made me feel. You just can’t go rushing about in a shirt like this.
Although, come to think of it, I had better not wear it to Trader Joe’s where all the staff are clad in Hawaiian shirts. I just might get asked on which isle the Latvian organic ice cream is, or the whereabouts of the two-dollar 1921 Chateauneuf du Pape.
So there really are clothes to help you go slow. Who would have thought it? I can’t write any more with this shirt on. I need a nap.
