SLOW LIVING | Shalom & Polepole

Shalom & PolePole

(SHäˈlōm) God's perfect peace & (polay polay) to move slowly, gently

A carefully curated space for those that practice a slow (polepole) pace and incorporate nature as a means to connect with God's peace (shalom).

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven

-Ecclesiastes 3:1

"God walks ‘slowly’ because he is love. If he is not love he would have gone much faster. Love has its speed. It is an inner speed. It is a spiritual speed. It is a different kind of speed from the technological speed to which we are accustomed. It is ‘slow’ yet it is lord over all other speeds since it is the speed of love."

-Kosuke Koyama, Three Mile an Hour God
