As I walked past the television and overheard discussion about the most recent shooting... I thought about urgent versus important.

Playing soccer with Henny reminds me of what is important. Yes, I think it is possible.

I mean no... when I am playing soccer with Henny I am not preoccupied... I am present. There might be activity in my subconscious about the to-do list. Play makes space?
