“SLOW!”
You might not have caught that. You might have thought he was just yawning or growling or even snoring but that Wooky was saying, “SLOW!”
Sure, that Wooky looks like a funny creature with heavy footsteps. He might be a big furry thug and yes, he probably is a bit thick, taking all that time to say one word. “S….L….O….W!” but, just think what you must look like to him. Here he is trying to go about his business and enjoy life when all around him everybody is hustling and bustling. No wonder that poor Wooky is driven to howl. He’s not surrounded by people anymore, he’s surrounded by nanoseconds swirling about him rushing here, rushing everywhere, rushing every moment.
Wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, shower, change, tidy, go out, do work, make money, spend money, see people, see things, drive cars, catch trains and buses, power-walk, cook, eat food, sleep……
What is a nanosecond compared to a swirling sunset?
What is a nanosecond compared to a wide eyed blue sky?
“S….L…..O….W!”
There he is, there’s that Wooky. He’s stopped, he’s sitting down and… he’s just sitting there. He’s watching the sky and he’s smiling.
For this moment and maybe this whole year he’ll sit there. This is his time to feel his breath drifting in and out of his body. He watches it dance away and drift in and out and all about the world around him. The world that makes him breathe in and sigh.
That Wooky’s alive. He knows he is but, he wonders, what do you know?

[...] TOM: “Ahah, my lady, see you’re feeling fresh already. Now, if you connect with the flower within you I can have a go. See yourself as a tired and wilted flower. That’s good, aah of course, you’re a daisy, now let me come along and rezing you, I can zap you and zing you and give you wings my lady. I can put a spring back in your step. I can revitalize and re-energise. See that happening now. Feel that happening now. Little balls of green zingers are flying around your body and revitalizing, refreshing, renewing. That’s what I do your lady, it’s lots of fun, lots of fun really. You know, I live at a different speed. I’m nothing like that slow coach Wooky.” [...]
