time again (to slow down)
I really don't like rush. To rush is to be impatient both with life and with people (and oneself?). I know that I am prone to living a rushed life.. somewhere to be, people to e-mail/call, one thing after another occluding the time of whatever I should be doing next.. and I don't like it. So my way of reminding myself to not be caught up in the rushed life is to slow down my driving. I aspire to drive at or slightly above the speed limit. Driving in this way is surprisingly uncommon in my area. The minute that I save in getting to my destination by speeding is really not significant. The value of disciplining myself to live a willfully paced life is.

The people who's lives I see as rushed really don't present very good examples of what life should look like, at least in my limited eyes. Not worth modelling my life after. A slow, thoughtful, paced out life is very admirable in my eyes.
It is sad to see really neat people who try to do so much good they don't really know the people around them anymore. Too busy.
I like your idea driving the speed limit approxamatly and not rushing about!
Luke it is good to come and read your blog because I just don't see you anymore! We'll have to change that soon.
It's hard not to rush around when everyone around you is rushing.
