When faced with

a decision

ofhow to

commute to

school…

I quickly ruled out driving…

And chose to escape the traffic altogether.

I had my doubts about the roughly 55-minute ride,

But I rose to the challenge…

And each morning set out with determination.

Evenon the

rainy days,

I was greeted by serenity,

… inspired by the beauty,

… calmed by the solitude,

… and gratefulfor the

company.

I would make it many times over.

Giventhe

choice again…
