EDITORS COMMENTS
In the languid heat of 1918, as the world continued to grapple with the aftermath of war and the inexorable march of time, a man found himself bemoaning the lack of speed and motion in his life. Little did he know that a visit to the natural world would offer him a new perspective on the beauty of slowness. In this evocative photograph, we see the man, with a furrowed brow and a pensive expression, as he examines the mount of an extraordinary creature. The creature in question is a giant tortoise, its massive shell and ancient, wrinkled visage a testament to the passage of time. The tortoise moves at its own deliberate pace, plodding along with a grace that belies its size. The man's ennui-laden gaze is fixed on the tortoise's head, as if seeking answers to the riddle of slowness. The tortoise's slow, unhurried gait seems to beckon him to embrace the rhythm of nature, to appreciate the beauty in the slowness of the world around him. The photograph captures the essence of the slowness postcard, a moment frozen in time that invites us to reflect on the importance of savoring the present, of finding joy in the simple pleasures of life, and of recognizing that sometimes, the pace of the world needs to be as slow as that of a giant tortoise.
