As twilight gives way to darkness, you settle in. Your seat is surprisingly comfortable. Take a deep breath and relax. The asphalt is smooth; the vibration of the bus is soothing. Every now and then the hypnotic rhythm of the wheels on the roadway is interrupted by a little bump – a reminder that you are effortlessly moving forward. The rumble of the engine and the rush of the wind signal progress toward your intended destination.  You will arrive on time. Enjoy the journey.
