some of my thoughts and notes

Pace

While walking through Freiburg I saw a rainbow flag with the letters PACE on it. Obviously it's supposed to be the Latin word for Peace.

Then a young woman in jogging clothes passed me very slowly, followed by who I assumed to be her boyfriend or husband.

Their steps were so small that they barely got away from me, and the guy turned his head sideways to cast a glance in my direction and see how far they had come a couple of times.

I thought that he would probably like to run faster, but maybe I was wrong. Anyways it reminded me of the answer to the question whether it's better to walk alone or in company that someone of a desert tribe gave:

If you want to go fast it's better to go alone. If you want to go long it's better to go in company.

Whenever I suffer, my life seems very long to me, whenever I enjoy it, I realize how short it actually is.
