Here we so astoundingly are, to my continual shock and amazement: alive on a spinning chunk of rock in a random solar system in a universe reckless, exuberant, and vast. Whether exploring through writing or science, by foot or bike, solo or with a team, on this planet or beyond, my simple goal is to move, be moved, and move others in turn. Every era is an age of discovery; every moment of genuine awareness is a frontier; everyone is an explorer. And the wilderness is all around.
