Our bodies do a lot to protect us every day.
And learning about pendiculation made me even more grateful to mine.
In the distance the train whistle blew, and I looked down the tracks to see the headlight of the front car rounding a bend.
Vibrations rumbled up through the pavement and into the soles of my shoes.
I sat waiting a moment longer to stand and board.
Even though taking the train was a regular part of my day.
I still felt a little thrill when the rush of air passed over me and the cars came to a stop.
There was a soft hiss as the doors unlocked and slid back.
I stood and reached for my bag and climbed aboard.
The train was nearly empty, just me, a few other commuters, and the soccer star and his dad.
I settled into a window seat, propped my chin in my hand.
The doors closed, and I felt the train rock back and forward as we set off.
The tracks ran along a row of shops and cafes, and as we picked up speed I saw people shopping, talking on street corners and eating at outdoor tables.
There must have been a group bike ride happening.
A dozen or more cyclists were riding with lighted helmets and flags on their baskets.
Twilight was so long this time of year.
Not like in winter when day went to night, like a light switched off.
There were angles that accounted for such things, but I'd also read that in summer, the warmer air holds more particles, more moisture, and they scatter the remaining light, so that summer evenings feel brighter and more colorful.
I thought it made sense.
In the summer, I too wanted to stay up later.
