A "braking" point 🛑
“You used the parking brake right?”
The brakes went out in my 2001 Civic,
sore pads licking the tires, dredging
me to a stop over long slow distances.
I did not use the parking brake.Although everyone told me I should have.
But there are more than the immediate
solutions—yes, I could have yanked the brake
for safety, but my mind was speeding
toward a long-term solution. A proper fix.There’s an emergency, and then there’s
the deeper urgency in the system below.
I’m thinking about how there are some problems, like our brake failures or our failure to take breaks, that need immediate responsive solutions AND also need the long-term fixes, too. That’s my goal this week: to overhaul my whole rest + recovery system. Join me?
