Sunday Morning Sidewalk: Thinking fast, thinking slow

On quiet days, fast reactions and slow reflection, and the Oregon recruiting wave waiting just beyond the horizon

Saturday was one of those days that felt endless and yet like it went by too quickly. In the moments of an early morning three-hour walk and an afternoon play session that lasted three hours with Fiji, there were stretches where we were just laying in a field in the sunshine.

In the moment, there was a glorious feeling. After the sun had set and I sat at the computer to type, it seemed like the day had gone by far too quickly and that it had been wasted.

In some ways, I think that is the glory of these late spring days as we head to summer. We get a sort of duality of life playing out in real time.

Too fast.

Too slow.
