Fresh Moments
I want to let this day surprise me,
Unfolding sharply for me to see.
Not pre-shaped by word,
By something I’ve heard.
Be part; not being an absentee.

Satisfying Memory
A day that stands out in my memory:
Demanding all of my energy.
A hill was ahead,
Filling me with dread,
Until I applied this remedy.

Hiding in Plain Sight
There was an old biker with dislike,
For any ride using indoor bike.
But in time she knew,
By changing her view,
Riding expanded … a lucky strike.

View From the Sidelines
One can see a view and appreciate,
Your seeing lets you participate.
You see for your part,
With mind and with heart,
Beauty for you to assimilate.

When you’re on your bike and it’s springtime,
You’re riding amidst nature’s showtime.
New growth to be seen,
On hill and ravine.
Combining both peace time and “zing time.”

Dusting Off, Getting Out
My unridden bike is all dusty.
I’m glad that it’s dusty, not rusty.
And once that I clean,
This much loved machine,

Resistance
When I find my body feels “punky,”
It spreads, and my mind can get funky.
I move very slow.
My thoughts can get low.
Remind me … I’ll get back to spunky!

Smoothing Edges
Those times when I’m needing bike riding,
To view what I see while trail-gliding,
I feel with my heart.
‘Tis a better start—
For time that is real help-providing.
