What does this have to do with education?

Everything, in a number of ways. It changes the way I look at the kids who don't show much fire for anything but their skateboards, bicycles, computer games, and all the other hobbies that seem to light them up more than any quest for the perfect college application.

It's a different sort of learning, practice, discipline, meditation, and a host of other skills. Whether good or bad, I don't know. All I know is that it's beautiful and impressive. Enjoy.
