About this episode

The episode reflects on a meaningful encounter during a bus ride that highlights the impact of individuals on our lives.

When I set out to field-test my new Zoom H2 Essential Multi-Mic Handy Recorder (which I can't recommend highly enough), I assumed I was simply going to capture some random audio. Apparently, God had other plans. While riding public transportation from Glenwood Springs to Eagle, Colorado, a ray of sunshine entered my life by the name of Dan. I'll cut to the chase: the world is a better place because Dan is in it. We need more people like him. Was our meeting a sacred contract, divine destiny, or completely random? I'll likely never know. What I do know is that some people leave your life better than they found it. Dan is one of those people. Godspeed, my friend. We'll be in touch soon. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988. National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988 Music sourced from Pond5.
