Among the many and varied pleasures of the pipe, is the deliberation required of the smoker. Care is demanded to enjoy the experience fully.
One's mind enters a state of calm anticipation. The actions of the hand and eye must be coordinated... a well-executed charring light of the bowl affects the entire act of pipe smoking. Quite naturally, we slow down and consider what we are doing.
In performing this act, we become focused and, in such a state, we find ourselves willing and able to carefully address concerns which require our attention. This state is not unfamiliar to any of us here.
My sincere wish is that this wonderful ability could be shared somehow with so many in these times who seem to act in mindlessness.
