“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog #1
The most calming point: the peak of the mountain. I look down at the freshly fallen white snow and find peace. I know that the ride ahead of me will be the time of my life. My heart starts to race from the excitement that is to come, yet, I hesitate to take my plunge down the slope. I wait and admire everything around me because nothing is as beautiful as this moment. I wait eight months every year for this; the moment when I can dust off my board and get back to doing the thing I love most in this world. This is the most beautiful place on earth.
