Stroad
Our spiritual life will include fast and slow. But stay away from stroads.
The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.

Streets are for local traffic. Roads are thoroughfares. Travel streets slowly enough to stop for a kid's ball, wave to a neighbor, or admire someone's landscape. Travel roads to get somewhere faster. Streets are relational, prioritizing the here and now. Roads aim for a destination. And now there's the stroad —a corruption of street and road —serving neither purpose well.
