Cabin crew layover in Houston, a late-night Astros game, and no time for NASA - this episode explores the tension between long-haul travel and short-lived moments.
In episode 48 of the story pilgrim, I travel 5,000 miles to Houston… and never make it to Mission Control. With just 24 hours on the ground, I trade moon landings for breakfast, baseball, and a quiet walk to the Galleria. Along the way, I reflect on the odd rhythm of airline life - always arriving, rarely staying - and what it means to find presence in passing places.
No grand missions. No space suits. Just a few borrowed hours, a stadium full of strangers, and the reminder that sometimes, showing up is the whole story.
Buen camino, and keep listening.
