“You, too, can regain the floating equilibrium of your womb origins. Go out to the trails. Get down on your hands and knees and feel the soil, smell it, run your fingers and toes through it. Devine intervention will come, like me, you will transcend the constraints modern living imposes on every post-aquatic human embryo. But let me admonish you also to give back what you take from nature, or we shall all perish in a car-mageddon fire, one that’s already threatening us from every direction. From his footprint we know Hercules. But for the devine flyers we want and really need to become, the whole is revealed by each, separately and together.” –Bob “Bobke” Roll, Tour de France Survivor, Mountain Biking Legend and Versus Commentator
