This is a great metaphor, and very Zen-like. I've thought of it several times while driving along the highway. Before, I used to drive at 65. Now, depending on traffic levels and the speed limit, I keep it between 45 and 55. As long as I'm not going slowly enough so several cars are passing me per minute, it's all right.
