A Short Movie

This is a short shaky movie of a recent bike ride at the greenway near my house.  It had been years since I had ridden and I forgot the joy of having the wind rush at you as you fly down the path.  The path that I bike is thankfully flat and is flanked by a tree-lined creek on one side and meadows of wildflowers and brushy weeds on the other. 

This week during my bike ride I had several days where I felt absolutely wonderful (perfect really) and life felt as if I were in a movie.  The birds, crickets, and tree frogs were in synchronized symphony, the breeze was cool and gentle and tinged with the scent of cedar, the sky the most perfect shade of blue and dotted with zippity little clouds of fuzzy white, and my heart was somehow beating in rhythm with everything as I peddled my legs down the path before me.  There was a smile plastered wide across my face and  I smiled even deeper as I felt gratitude in my heart for this moment and savored it knowing how precious it is to feel this harmony.  This ride for me is like a moving meditation.  The sounds and smells center me and there is no past and no future, only now. 

I hope you are finding moments of harmony and joy in your September.
