The Hamlet Project

Why bring love and meditation into this?
We’re talking about murder and revenge here
Where did the loving meditationing references come from?
Also – what’s so swift about meditation?
It seems to me to be, at its core, a slow process
Nor are thoughts of love
Particularly speedy. One might be struck with them suddenly,
Particularly in a love at first sight situation
But one of the sweetest qualities of love
Is its lack of speed, the way one can sink
Into loving, losing all sense of time,
Where hours can pass in love
Without seeming to have been a minute.
The world slows down with love.
Love slows down the world.
I do not think thoughts of love
Would add speed or wind to an arrow,
It would rather slowly focus it
Til it reached its aim.
