We were sitting on a bench on Windy Hill off of Skyline Boulevard, with an
uninterrupted view of Silicon Valley stretched out in front of us. It all looks
so peaceful from a distance, and yet we knew that although we were sitting
amongst the frenzied activity of hummingbirds, bees, and flies, the frantic
deal-making, bit-slinging, and traffic dodging going on down there was a
million times more stress inducing. A retired couple walked by and said
“You’ve got the world at your feet”. I felt a little guilty at not taking
advantage of it, and then I realized that at that very moment, I finally,
absolutely and truly was.
