The instant thing raises the question for me, What that has value for us can only happen more slowly than instantly? Can the development of authentic relationships be instant, for example? Can the artistic or creative process be instant? Can organizational transformation be instant? Depth does have the connotation of slowness for me too.

It seems out of place to me, since going deep has the connotation of going slowly. B'shalom, Jeff Shalom Jack,

One of his rants is against the one-minute craze. One of his praises - the 4 hour Italian dinner that I so remember growing up. Until till people allow this kind of luxury, they don't realize how delicious they can be if only given the chance! I forgot about Honore’s book - I read a review of it last year and looks good.

Buddhism teaches us to live here in the present for some of the time, to take the long view and see cause and effect, and to accept that the nature of life is one of imperfection. Bitter-sweet and poignant - and all the better for those qualities. So many live their whole lives grasping after a future they believe to be perfect.
