I so appreciate this post! I've been having some similar inquiries lately, trying to slow my life down since I moved to Vancouver Island and trying to be intentional about how I relate to time. Have you read the book Saving Time by Jenny Odell? I recommend it. She takes a deep dive into our understanding of time and how we've allowed capitalism to shape it.

We had a very similar experience to yours when we first arrived in Costa Rica, it was incredibly jarring for about 72 hours, and then incredibly liberating. I find the subjective nature of time eternally fascinating ;) it's especially fun when I manage to stop myself from subscribing to the idea that it's linear, and that I have to believe in it. Beautiful practice suggestions around language, thank you for that, Maia.
