Riding my bike:
- feels like a physical representation of moving forward + leaving things behind
- makes me focus on the present moment
- gets me into nature under the trees, under the sky, feeling the breeze
- is zooming, coasting play
- feels cooler moving through the air on these hot days
- is a fun way of getting somewhere like a coffee shop at the other side of the park
- is a slow way of doing things like picking up dish soap + a cookie after dinner
- makes me spread my arms with unbridled joy
- connects my partner + I because we both love it
- lets me notice the comings + goings of the dragonflies, the snakes, the milkweed
- gives me space to think + to not think
- allows me to push hard + expel negative energy
- lets me stop + listen to birds + water lapping the shore softly
Riding my bike for enjoyment + connection, for movement + wellness...well, it makes me smile every time. :)
Love,
Jane
