In reply to Paul Ruby. There have only been a couple times Paul that I thought you might plow into me. I try and give you plenty of warning before I stop for a picture!

In reply to Dar.

Stopping the questioning and asking why is a big step. It’s different than a researcher asking why something reacts the way it does. More the cosmic why questions that can be so troubling.

I feel a bigger force at work but don’t try to figure it out or ask why. I’ve just come to accept it as it is. Makes life easier…

You do such a good job blending words and images on your blog. “God questions” is a great term. I, too, tend to think deep thoughts while riding. I think of not-so-deep stuff, too. It’s hard not to let your mind wander when you’re visually hyper-focused on the road ahead, behind, to the sides, and underneath of you though. People who haven’t ridden won’t ever understand that. How focusing so intently on the actual ride really does free your mind. Isn’t it nice knowing there are folks out here who really do understand?

SFW: Thank you for your kinds and thoughtful words. I try to ride alone to get to that meditative or reflective state of calm but I do it better with you. Mostly because to me it seems that is the purpose when we go out. Well the main purpose – we are also taking photos, having genera l fun on the scooters and eating good grub. I let you do that work up front figuring out when a turn, turkey or pheasant are coming up. Have you noticed I pretty much just go where ever you take us? I don’t really care were we go (unless I have it in my mind I want a big Mammy’s breakfast). When I’m following you all I have to do it stay on the road and not rear end you when you suddenly stop for a photo.

In reply to Chris. Sometimes the why questions just lead me to frustration. Or a hopeless feeling that nothing matters. Understanding is at times in short supply. Regardless, it's probably good to exercise the mind and spirit and then practice letting go of expectations and results. Or just get on the Vespa and leave all of it in the rear view mirror.

In reply to Mike.

So many competing thoughts and ideas come into my head until I’m wondering why I have to deal with all the noise…

Thanks for the kind words about the post and pix. I appreciate them.

In reply to Brent. Thanks Brent. The more I think about this kind of stuff the more I think I'm wasting my time trying to figure things out. As best I can I let the questions wash over me and tend to the task in front of me. And I cherish memories. And pictures...

In reply to Bryce Lee. Ever the pragmatist Bryce. My current existence has me melting into a reclining chair and wishing I had a glass of ice water. That's perfection as opposed to the small mercy of good health care coverage...
