Magnificence of Solitude

The highway disappears over the horizon in the desert.
Someone built this highway, but there are no houses along its path.
No other vehicles are visible, nor have been for some time.

Mountains in the distance. Sagebrush and cactus along the road.
A summer thunderstorm refreshes the earth to the west.
The rains wash off the dust and release the aroma of the desert.

The solitude is magnified, magnificent and spiritual.
Not only am I traveling alone. I am alone on the highway filled with euphoria.
My peace and well-being conjoins with the smallness of my existence.

See you on the highway.

1st Ride of 2012

It’s always a test. When will I be able to get in the first ride of the year? Sometimes, it takes a few days for the weather to clear enough to make it possible.

But on this 1st day of January, 2012, the weather is starting off pretty darned good for January. It’s about 50 degrees and there is a cold front moving in that will bring strong gusty winds and a few snow flurries. So, it’s time to suit up.

BTW … Happy New Year.

See you on the highway.
