Commute

Commute, originally uploaded by Manolos in Space.

I love riding BART to work everyday. I love that it gives me a chance to prepare myself mentally for what's to come and forces me to take time out for me. I love that I can share my time and space with all kinds of people, from a man in green tights to a woman with bath sponges in her hair. I love that makes me feel like a part of a community. I love that at the end of a long day, I can look back at the train and see something this beautiful. Thanks.
