There is an African tale that tells that a white explorer, eager to get to his destination soon, paid an extra salary to make his Indians walk faster. For several days the porters quickened their pace. One afternoon, however, everyone sat on the ground and laid down their burdens, refusing to continue. No matter how much money they were offered, the Indians did not move. When, finally, the explorer asked for a reason for that behavior, he got the following answer: "We are walking too fast and we no longer know what we are doing." Now, we need to wait until our souls catch up.”
