The crisp cool air whips across my face. I feel the steady irregular bump of the uneven gravel beneath my board’s wheels. Here and there you can catch an early morning bird darting from one tree to another. This is my morning commute. And in the grand scheme of the universe, it’s a pretty amazing experience. I try to set that context as often as I can, although it is difficult. For when you consider our position within it all, and how we’re all connected to everything, and everything to us, it is remarkable.
