&quot;When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day&#x27;s sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay&#x27;s call, ice melting and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking, of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else&#x27;s heart.&quot; ~ Diane Ackerman
