"I dream of putting the world on pause "

*I dream of putting the world on pause* *Stop stalling for time* *What's the point of grabbing minutes and seconds* *Work more, earn more, consume more?* *At this rate, our mad race is already lost* *Strain, tear, life-threatening prognosis* *It's time to accept our loss* *I dream of suspending the clocks, emptying the diaries* *To free our minds from the incessant weight of haste* *Let's rediscover the tempo of walking or cycling* *Let's listen to our heartbeat as it accelerates up hills* *Breathe in, breathe out, recover* *Please, let time slip away* *The verb "to marvel" is so beautiful, conjugated in the present tense* *I dream of letting the wind carry us* *Leading us down dark alleys and byways* *Forget our destination, let ourselves drift* *"Itinérer", "errancer", "flânerêver"... there are so many words to invent.* *Let's revisit the etymology of our Odysseys* *The future will be simple or it won't be* *Let's learn to unburden ourselves* *I dream of putting the world on pause* *To see screens turn off and utopias turn on* *To meet the men and women who take other roads* *Inventing epics where no one is left behind* *Let's contemplate the ordinary, let ourselves be surprised* *Redraw the journey of simplicity* *We must accept to lose ourselves in order to find ourselves again.*
