slow moments

been thinking more about this notion of the moment. they happen all the time. life is after all an infinite series of moments. i'm talking about the ones that change the way we think and feel. the ones that show us that another world is possible. they can be planned but often i think they happen due to a series of events, thoughts, influences, and of course timing.

so i had a 'moment' while biking home in the rain yesterday. since i've been getting into researching slow design again, i've been wondering about ways to invite (or force) people to slow down. so i was biking and the car behind me was unable to get around me. he just stayed behind me and i'm not sure if he was getting frustrated or not with me. either way i successfully slowed down that car for just a few minutes. all by myself. made me smile.
