Slow writing workshop

She was walking down the street when her attention caught an add on a piece of paper, next to a shop.
Slow writing workshop it said.
Curiously enough she dropped a phone call and soon she got there to see what it was.
Writing she was always interested in, but slow? What they meant?

It appeared that people there, were really old, and they have been working in a single piece for many years, some for decades, it seemed as if they have lost track of time.
This workshop was really slow.

One had to subscribe with a single idea, and start working on it, when they felt like. "No hurry here" the very old facilitator said.  And she pushed away her blond hair covering her eyes. "You are welcome to start whenever you feel like. You just have to be sure you want to truly devote your time here. "
Weirdly enough I continued looking around, and observing , people were working really slowly, at their own pace, drawing each letter carefully. I was worried, I might loose my time in there, and as if she sensed my thoughts, she said " No need to worry my child, Time is all you 've got, and we appreciate your time here, a lot. When you feel ready, we will be here for you . "

I walked away slowly, and felt as if a weird spell was casted around this place. As I was walking out of the door, I would already feel my pace speeding up, getting back to normal again, or maybe too fast ?

I hope I will not be affected for life. This one at least.
