the art of telling time to politely wait while your tongue runs the meeting
means slowing down to fully enjoy the taste, smell, or experience of something, lingering over each moment rather than rushing through it
from From the verb 'savor,' which arrived in English through Old French 'savourer,' from Latin 'sapere' — to taste, and also, tellingly, to be wise. The same root flavors the word 'sapient.' The Romans evidently felt that good taste and good sense came from the same well, so to savor something is, etymologically, to taste it knowingly.
