Thank you for your sharing of Zen Sprintcyclist, in-fact many athletes report (Zen like) experiences of "being in the flow"etc.

Even reading a poem can inspire a wonderful moment moment moment! ... I love the old Haiku below for this reason ...

Old pond
leap — splash
a frog.

Some quotes from Carl Sagan:

Quote:

It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.”

“One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.”

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

“The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.”

“The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent.”

“Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.”
