There's even a thing in Zen, an expression in Zen, which says, hurry slowly. So when you are in a hurry, you have to move fast. How can you-- it doesn't make sense.
Hurry slowly, they tell you in Zen. How does that work? Well, it means you can act fast, but the slow, what they call slow is the conscious. You're still connected to the sense of Being, which is the conscious consciousness behind what you do. You are not lost in the hurrying.
The hurrying happens externally. But internally, you're still at rest. That's the slowly aspect of the hurry slowly. And the restful sense of being is consciousness. You're conscious, not lost in the action yet able to perform the action better than unconsciously.
