Ten Minutes of Solitude
Wednesday, September 28, 2005
The solace of my days flies by in the frosty fingers of dawn and the star blanketed skies of the ever earlier coming night. It’s that ten minute ride that cleans the soul, allowing me to exist through the rest of my day. Moving forward, grateful for what I have.
Cold this morning. 43 degrees at 55mph creates a sub-freezing wind chill. Might be time to get the full face helmet and pull out the leathers… an interesting note, I almost titled this 10 minutes of peace but that would infer that the rest of my time is spent lacking peace. Surprisingly, wonderfully, happily, I'm maintaining a sense of peace in this chaos that is currently my life. But those 10 minutes of being on the bike... Seeing the fox, deer, wild turkey, vultures, and eagles...just me...no thoughts, no voices, no questions...just ride.

Thanks, Sammy.
rew- The picture is of that swampy area on the way out too my house. The "wispy stuff" is mist coming up off the water because the water is warmer than the air. (Or it could be a bunch of hippies hiding and smoking up...)

maybe it's a chalk cloud from all the climbers passed out in the field after some strenuous climbing :-)
