Summary

This quote suggests that there are two types of slowness in affairs: one that is beneficial and one that is detrimental. The first kind refers to a gradual progression or development that allows things to reach their full potential and maturity. This slow pace nurtures positive outcomes. On the other hand, the second kind of slowness implies a delay or lack of progress that leads to stagnation or decay. It highlights the importance of finding the balance between giving things the necessary time to flourish and avoiding unnecessary delays that can result in negative consequences.

I love the smell of the ice... And the cold. The sound the puck makes when it's sliding across the ice or when hits the net for a goal... as long as it's our goal. I love the sound of sticks crashing against one another. The sound my skates make when I come to a hard stop. The roar of the crowd. The way I feel when i'm playing. I can do things on this ice that I can't do anywhere else.
