"It was magical."

Reading this article reminds me of how important it is to be exposed to the world, to have a chance to see a new environment, and to have the opportunity to richly consume life.

Reading this reminds me of the power of wonderment, the power of not knowing, and the power of asking a simple "can I?"

Brilliant.

This article won't create as much earned media as POTUS speeding down a test track in an F-150 Lightning, but this article will make a bigger dent in the universe.

Total brilliance by the Detroit Free Press and the communications team at Ford Motor Company.
