As you ride a bike and start to ride it well, there are moments when it becomes an affirmation of life devoid of separation and distinction; you ride through the earth unthinkingly rather than across it.

Everyone has a "greatness within" to be of service and to benefit their family, friends, neighbors, their community and humanity.
