There are days when I catch myself running at a pace that is way too fast, faster than I can handle; too many projects, too many commitments, too many intentions than I am able to realize, and I think I wish I could take timeout! I feel like just pressing a 'pause' button on everything like in those movies where everyone in the street just freezes, just long enough for me to put my feet up with cup of tea and a book.
There is no one better at teaching us timeout than the Chinese. They can just drop everything and take timeout, in the street, on a bike, on a train, on a pavement... wherever they are, they can just stop!
The photo below if from yesterday of a man who was resting on his bike full of bottles in the middle of the wide street, just because it was what he needed right then. Much to learn!

Hence the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” 🙂
I might interpret the gesture: “Stop. Do not take my picture.”
