Meditation on Wheels

Reflecting

Bicycling in the early morn,

Brings a smile to my face,

And happiness to my being.

My place of meditation,

A long and lonely road.

A place of solitude and peace.

Eyes open to the light of day.

Birds dancing on wings in the air,

Squirrels running and collecting their fare.

Reflection on life as I roll down the road makes for a beautiful day!

What a lovely ride you have shared with us, Willard! You have to love when the animals join the dance... :)

I was on the route of my bike ride walking recently and 2 large Hawks were swooping around me and I was trying to get pictures. It was challenging and I will have to try again. Thanks for your time and comment.

such a calm and inspiring piece, Willard... the thought of rolling down the road (as we roll through the paths in life) and finding solitude as the heart pumps... riding a bicycle does much, much more than closing the gap between two physical points... thanks for this wonderful image!

[Willard Wells]

Thanks FT. One of my greatest pleasures. Appreciate the time and comment.

My meditation is on four wheels on a scenic drive to work every morning...not quite the same, but Ive missed it with school out...driving Otto to Houston does not count as a relaxing drive.

No I don't have a name for it, other than it's model name, but 100 miles a day, means I am fully familiar..my other home away from home..lol

A gentle and uplifting piece that gives a clear picture of your morning ride in a flowing and uplifting verse. Could almost feel the wind on my face and the sigh of contentment,

[Willard Wells]

This was the counter piece to the darker Senryu I did today. Thank you as always for the time with my work and your reviews.

Willard I do like reading this piece and how you have your happy place and peace of mind. I have said many times. "If you are happy and have peace of mind what else could you ask for or should you ask for?". Oh how I like the simple things of life and it appears you so the same. A clear and lovely piece you have written.

[Willard Wells]

Thank you Robert for taking time to read my simple fair and yes simple is my way of life. When we look at our lives it is not the big moments that are big, but the little moments that we take to savor life.

[Robert]

I very much agree .

This is great. I used to love bicycling, but I live in the city and haven't much sace for it. Still, I'd like to get back to to.
