I have to admit I don't even know where to look for Publisher's Post.

Klaus,

It's on the rural heritage home page, on the left column, about halfway down.

Thank you, Joe. I found it and read it, sort of. There is a bar on top of it, which I couldn't remove when I scrolled down, so the first two or three lines are only partially readable.
As to the contents: We all have been drilled to be constantly impatient, to get things done faster, so that one get even more things done faster. And partially that is a good part of rightful industriousness, but it can also lead to missing the most important parts of life, as you state so well.
As a society we have long passed the point where such impatience would make any sense anymore, and so in our haste to get more and more things done( produced) faster and faster, we have made people into dispensable commodities. Profit over People (title of a book by Noam Chomsky) is the end result of efforts to produce more and more, to get more and more done, accumulated. Sometimes we ourselves try to profit from our own efforts beyond the point where it would make sense and are tempted to give up what makes life worthwhile, in my eyes relationships with the surrounding people, animals, natural world.

Like the post, Joe. Even though I'm mostly one of those folks using maps, wood to heat, and spend almost as much time with my horses as I'd like, the impatience of the world does build up. We'll all do well to brew the coffee in the morning and watch the sunrise.
