The Art of Lingering

On staying a little longer than you planned.

There is no prize for finishing the afternoon early.

Yet we rush it.

Lately I try the opposite. I stay.

I let the glass sit half-finished. I let the shadow move across the table. I let the person across from me say the second, slower version of what they meant.

Almost everything good I remember happened in the extra ten minutes.

So here is the invitation: today, stay a little longer somewhere. Do not explain it to anyone.

Put on No Space, let it run to the end, and see what the room does with you.
