I don’t remember who said it. And I don’t remember the exact wording. But I do remember reading that working on oneself is mainly about learning how to let go of wanting things or people to change. Change. We’re most often either impatiently waiting for it or dreading it. We’ve been blessed with warm beautiful days these last few weeks. With some wet cool days in between. I’ve been riding almost daily. Mostly gravel with some road. Groad is what I think they call it . With some BMX in between. This sunny weather after all the rain earlier this month has left these forests vibrantly buzzing. So very pregnant. Birthing fresh leaves. Reawakening. These creatures of light. Constantly changing. If I’m honest, I must admit that I had been restlessly waiting for these natural changes for a few months now. The emergence of this spring season sprinkled with glimpses of summer. Empowered by these changes as they change me. Energized by this strengthening sun. Back to life. Following its lead. Sleeping when it sets. Waking when it rises. My ideal rhythm. Even if most of my rides are local, around these same roads, they’re still never the same. Outside is never stagnant. Constantly changing. Eloquently evolving. A brand new ride every single time. The art of riding these bikes. Irrelevant path. Irrelevant goal. No right or wrong direction. Just flowing movement. The faster I hurry, the slower I go. Everything just keeps changing.
