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.
What shifts and clears your view?
Rounding out my time in Sequim,
I rented a bicycle for five days.
Good finale.
As Nick, a bicyclist, said to me...
"Biking smooths out the edges."
During first part of our Sequim stay,
I kept my time and focus on
Sorting, clearing, moving items
To their new place for reuse / recycle.
"Head-down,” single-minded,
I got to my objective for that day.
(Kind of like covering that day's bike-trip miles).
Bulk of items
Shredded, gifted, donated,
It became clear ...
I was doing that out of
MY operational mode.
In my zeal, there's
Not much space for
Reviewing what it meant to
Remove and change closet contents,
Drawer arrangements,
Shelf offerings.
A difficult encounter
Reminded me this is
Grief time, foremost.

What clears my view?
Brings me to calmer outlook?
Riding briskly, requiring me to
Focus on a trail, pedaling, that destination.
Biking is my shift.
I'm riding daily now.
Noticing spring blooms,
Morning sunlight on mountain peaks.
Have you seen that?
Sunbeams creating shimmering white light
Streaming from 8,000 ft Olympic peaks?
WOW!
Pedaling is my go-to.
Smoother edges,
Happy miles,
Lucky me.
Hugs,
Lin
Even more Spring: clockwise from upper left: Red Currant blooming on trail, Lin and Ornamental Plum, Neighbor's blooms, Perrilee and Lindy after a trip to the nursery.
Lin –
Beautiful photos. Nice looking Trek. Is it an e-bike? It doesn’t seem likely but it looks like it could be.
After a two day drive I am now in central PA. I brought my old bike. Snow continues to fall at my house in NH but I hope to ride here in the next few days if there is a break in the forecasted rain.
Will you be with us around Lake Ontario in September?
Hugs –
Hope
Not an e-bike, though, yes, a heavy regular bike! I am yearning after the 2026 east coast ride!
