CircleBlue: You describe the process well. I like the notion of things hatching into the moment.

Jim: Zen Habits has an interesting mix of material. It's not all relevant for me but a lot is thought provoking.

Steve,

Glad to hear your quieter moments includes total reflection on the surrounding, owns one purpose, and future. I'm with you in a good way. I continue to enjoy my far and in between scooter rides but as we all get our priorities in order. Keep up with the great pictures...I can't wait to get my 4-3rds to try out.

Ride safe and enjoy..

bobskoot: Getting the mind into simpler things is the big challenge for me. Riding clears my head enough to see the simple horizon but I always get lost in the details...

conchscooter: I agree that simplicity is about choices but not sure which ones. So many things to choose from.

Thanks for posting the links. I plan to spend some more time at the site.
Great porta-potty picture. Oh yeah, the Vespa, too.

Steve,
There are those of us who are restless. Perhaps Seers, but not in the sense of being a clairvoyant, prophet, oracle, or diviner. Rather Seer as one who seeks to see that which will happen just as the moment hatches into the present.

I enjoy watching you engage in look and see. Thanks for sharing word and image.

The simplicity thing will remain elusive if it requires one set of wheels over another to achieve.
Simplicity comes from the manner of viewing not from the platform from which the landscape is viewed.
Finding the line between simplicity and deprivation may come more easily with the loss of internal combustiuon.

Steve:

try as hard as we might, simpler things are just not within my grasp but I forsee a simpler time in my future as soon as I get my mind into it.

Last weekend, for the first time in a long time, I went riding with the sole purpose of capturing images trying to look at our urban landscape with different eyes.

Mr. Riepe: I was wondering if someone would point out what you have. I figured someone with keen insight and razor edge thinking would. I am not surprised it's you.

On the day I made the image the door was a metaphor. It would have been a good time though to use those things. They were new and unused at that point.

hrw115: Thanks for the heads up on the Sunday hours at Cafe Lemont. I went this morning and asked the owner about it and she said they had a lot of people who want to come on Sunday so they changed their hours.

VCS: Thanks for the kind words about Scooter in the Sticks. I appreciate them.

Simple things are powerful. Sometimes difficult to get to them though.

Dear Steve:

The devil is in me this morning. Here it is you are waxing philosphical, and the only thing I can think of is your scooter up against a wall of latrines, with the penultimate point of that paragraph being, the machine lets you pry open open one door...

All of the doors in the Porto-Sans leads to the same thing. And so much of life is just like that.

Fondest regards,
