"He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities."
- Benjamin Franklin
One of the hardest things about living in LA is the pace of life here. Everyone moves so fast. The most tangible example of this can be seen on the streets and freeways. It is constantly clear that everyone is in such a freaking hurry.
So, it's quite appropriate that I got a cold (or something of that nature) when I reentered this face-paced city. The little bout of illness has reminded me that I have to stop. I have to rest. I have to defy the message this society continually feeds to me. If I don't, I may miss out on so much of what this life has to offer.
