A boy and his dog are hurry up-hurry up-hurry up, faster and faster, hurrying if you want to win, hurrying so you'll reach the top, faster, louder until...STOP! And everything slows, calming down, taking a break, breathing in, walking, listening, enjoying the natural world.
I could feel my heart beating harder, my breathing increasing, as I read the early pages of the book, and then my heart slowing, my breathing becoming deeper as I read the last pages of the book. Reading the book was almost like meditation.
