Imagine.

Imagine if there were no time between initial action and final completion. No time for second guessing. No time for waiting. No time for boredom or u-turns. Just the first step, then immediately you've arrived... Today I pulled the plug out from sink, but washed the last dish I'd missed before the water ran away. The other day I walked out the door, but before I was 20 metres down the road I popped back for my gloves (mmm possum fur... thanks David and Jenny!) because boy is it cold here now on occasions. At times I still long for a fast forward button on life, to close up the gaps between now and the next “important” thing that is coming. It's funny though; when life really is running at that speed, I'm always wishing I could get off... Since becoming a full-time pedestrian I've noticed that cars always accelerate to close up any brief gap in the traffic to the car in front. For me, this makes it so much harder to cross the road. I want to be the kind of life-driver who lets the gap run, maybe even spools it out a little. Why the hurry for the destination?

Talking of hurry, I'm one day late uploading the photos of our trip to Eastbourne. One day late, that is, given a six-month window of acceptable delay... Clearly already taking my own non-hurry advice on that one. Hope you enjoy them, if you're into that kind of thing!
