The Path
If I were to have a thought...

I would go back to being around 11 years of age, wearing my favourite tee shirt and shorts, white socks and dirty sneakers, riding my bike... without a worry in my head!

A pleasant day, on a trail to nowhere... with high trees around me... birds singing, a sunny day, breathing the air... smiling...

As I ride along the trail, I would see different scenarios of people... families, friends, strangers... and hey, there you are!!! Doing the things they love: Enjoying life... talking, playing, laughing, caring for one other, being alone, in contentment, and in love... at times saying hello or waving at me as I pass by...

Don't know where I'm heading... I take my time; aiming forward, yet looking back every now and then as I keep riding on my trusty ol' bike... Maybe to find the end of my trail, maybe not...

The above entry was written back in December of 2003 from my previous blog. How time slips by like water running through one's hand. Have I changed? Indeed I have, but not by much. My spirit is high. As for the path, the scenery is still good and the weather is usually fair. My clothes and shoes are a bit tattered, but am happy for I'm still able to ride my bike, moving forward in time while taking in this so-called life...

Have a great week everyone.

Oh my gosh! I didn't even notice it at first. I thought there was a blurred look to the side of your head and when I looked longer, I noticed that the image was changing. Are you wiggling your ears here? :-)

The journey IS the destination. Sometimes the only thing I enjoy is riding around on my scooter, just moving, with no particular place to go. "Oh that magic feeling... no where to go..."

thank you very much for the Halloween card, which arrived today.
You are a dear.
