Last week, we flew to Morocco for a little time away.
We drove through the Atlas Mountains, hiked the Todra Gorge, and eventually made it to the edge of the Sahara.
All the while, I was carrying precious cargo - my copy of Frank Herbert's sci-fi classic, Dune.
And, at sunrise, I sat on the sand and read a few pages.

In that moment, I was so focused on the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen's nefarious scheming, I didn't really have time to process the brilliance of the situation.
But in the days since, and looking back at the photo captured by my partner, Julia, I've realised how lucky I am.
To be able to take a random week off in February, and to pursue dumb little ideas like reading a book about a big desert while sitting in a big desert... it's wonderful.
The freedom and flexibility we're afforded by the type of work we do is amazing, and I want to thank you for making that possible.
