    Sunday morning was exactly how slow living should feel. Coffee. No alarm. No rush. Cows grazing in the field and clouds moving slowly across the sky. We could go somewhere.We could take a book outside.Or we could simply do nothing for a while. And for a while, we did. Then we checked the weather forecast. Rain for…
