‘Man Zou’ (go slowly or walk slowly) is a common Chinese departure greeting. It might loosely equate to something like ‘take it easy’ or ‘look after yourself’.

 

Sometimes our haste is what impedes us. Going slowly guides us towards the notion of taking our time, of moving slowly but surely — a sort of non-doing which (slowly) lets go of unkind self-judgements, and allows clear action to unfold at the same time.
