In praise of being ordinary

I like slow dancing.  Slow cooking is good. I am a slow learner.  I like people who think before they speak. Lingering sunsets are worth remembering.  The slow movement of a symphony is a respite from all the bang and brass. Shaggy dog stories are the funniest.

I get a thrill watching grass grow or paint dry. Sitting on a park bench in autumn is really my speed. I enjoy puddling along at 40 mph. Even traffic jams have good moments.

Photography that needs a long exposure is an art.  Mature wine can be savoured.  Ripe bananas have more flavour than hard firm ones.
