Editor’s Letter: Things we remember

Hello everyone.

It’s been quite a while since we met on the pages of Star Cruiser. Personal matters, new job with even more responsibilities kept me away from my duties with the SC. It would be sort of perky to expect you’ve missed me, but I can tell you I’ve missed you.

Well, the good part is that I’m back with a bunch of tales and stories to share. I’ve done a lot of travelling over the past several months, both on bikes and commercial airplanes, on business or desperately trying to get away from any business. But regardless of the purpose or way of travelling, all those trips left me with mostly good memories. You know just as I do, that trips are never completely flawless. There’s cold, heat or rain, accidents and may other problems we face on our way. But when the journey is over, we see that everything was just the way it was supposed to be. Is this just a peculiar twist of mind? Or is it the way we humans are made? And I wonder if it feels the same when your life comes to its final destination. Some riders say that a trip, especially a solo bike trip, is a life in miniature. If they are right, we all have a hope to see our lives from the right spot someday: a beautiful intricate pattern rather than meaningless routine zigzags we are used to…

Have a good and safe trip!

Sincerely yours,

Anton
