Yesterday, still being Aug. 11, I saw Halloween candy displayed at Walgreens. The NFL preseason kicks off this weekend, and actually, there were games played last weekend, as well. Four nights ago while swimming with my daughter, we could hear the local high school's marching band practicing. And if you haven't noticed, school supplies were being put on the shelves before the smoke from the Fourth of July had vanished.
What' the obsession with getting rid of summer so quickly? What's the obsession in general for people to move from the current minute to the next one so quickly? Motion. Constant. True enough, but motion also represents meaning, and if you're always anticipating the next motion, you can't possibly be picking up on the meaning of the last one. Slow the hell down people.
