The child within and without

They say the reason time goes by faster as an adult is because, unlike children, we are too familiar with our surroundings. The way to slow time down is to recreate childhood by opening yourself to new experiences on a daily basis. This phenomenon is most obvious when you travel. I have been "traveling" for some time now, and since I have also experienced life through the eyes of a newborn, witnessing giant leaps in his life in a period of time through which my former self would have sleep-walked, I can confirm that by becoming doubly childlike, this busier life has indeed slowed down. Gives new meaning to "more haste, less speed."
