Dolphin & Anchor drawing for my Festina Lente study on Constraint.

I flipped the dolphin so he was breaching while holding and moving against the anchor. The waves are a Greek motif pulling west, while the clouds are pushing east.

Next month will be the Snail Shell & Rabbit.

This month we're exploring the Dolphin & Anchor image adopted by Aldus Manutius for the Aldine Press during the Italian Renaissance. Part one of six.

Festina lente

Festina lenta is a phrase I once used as my touchstone for a year. It means, to make haste s l o w l y. It’s inherently ridiculous, but also points to the very old and very excellent point about taking one’s time. It’s an antidote to the venoms busy and hurry. “These days” things are not simply faster, they are glossed over. The super-power I need to cultivate more is discrimination: What experiences are valuable? What pursuits are valuable? There’s [almost] always a faster way… but which is the better way?

In that spirit, consider the two paradigms that follow, not as you would two spirited debaters but rather two paintings hanging at opposite ends of a gallery. You are in the middle, bathed in natural light, forced by history to judge their color and attraction.

“You are a director of a firm that supplies algorithms…” Egads, no.

“In the two days it has taken to reach your destination…” You have my attention.
