"We turn, we are a turning tribe--born into, borne by rotation--earth propelling us around its axis once a day, like a revolving door, while gravity deceives us into thinking that the sky is moving, we are standing still.
. . .Another trip around the sun--another turning--is what we are celebrating when we celebrate an anniversary. . .another journey of 574,380,400 miles. . .
These are major road trips when you think about it."
Marianne Wiggins, "The Shadow Catcher"
