I love to drive fast. It’s fun to zip by cars like they are standing still. It’s a “power trip”.

Sometimes however driving slow has real merit. The other day I decided to take an alternative route home besides taking the highway. My drive home was on one of my favorite windy tree lined streets that was conducive to driving slow. It was so delightful to drive a speed that allowed me to appreciate every curve and nuance of the road.

More importantly, my senses were surprisingly awakened by my surroundings. The air was filled with the smells of spring and I could see various summer flowers that have just begun to burst on the scene. It was glorious.

Try driving slow sometimes. You might be pleasantly surprised what you see along the way.
