Serious. I think a message of "sit here and read some more and just hang out" is about the ideal word! My pastor preached a couple of months back about the pace of God being 3 miles per hour because we know He walks with us and so that's walking pace. (a person then corrected Him to point out that God is also light and so must travel at the speed of light.........) I love the idea of a 3mph life, I've had a manic week with work and I just keep coming back to that same challenge - can I choose to slow down my life to 3mph? It's good to have these slower times and to revel in them - I think it's a little bit of the sabbath comment. The more I learn of sabbath, the more I see the positives of it rather than just stop doing. However, as you say, we can and should experience that slowness and rest on a even more regular basis.
