Look forward to the link to your blog. Always interested in what they turn into.

Happy to know some of the things I write resonate with you.

As always ride safe. I will send you one day a link of my blog as its almost not a motorcycle blog anymore…

Thank you for always sharing those experiences. I feel I’m already riding my scooter in your place.

Thank you for your kind words. Riding is generally an exercise that’s both contemplative and relaxing for me. When I write I try and share those experiences.

Best of luck on your blog. You should post a link so I can check it out.

The idea of stopping is not without interest. I’ve been considering the motivation for a lot of what I do — trying to decide whether intrinsic values are motivating me or more ego driven extrinsic ones. I completely understand the notion of a ride for nothing more than that experience. The last time I rode I watched myself and sure enough I would get into the blog mode — looking for landscapes and situations that would make an interesting image that I could post.

The deathbed stuff — I hope I arrive at the end without regrets. For that to happen I’ll have to live a life that has purpose and meaning. I’m still working to discover what that is.

I don’t actually remember your website but I do remember the search text I need to type in to Google in order to reach you. Same as you I ride a scooter and same as you I blog but not the way you write it. It was always amazing how you describe every details of experience…

Keep it up and I’ll be checking from your site from time to time.

Cheers!

It’s not actually. You can always stop the work. I’m serious. It’s the route I’ve chosen after near-obsession with photography and blogging. And I have to say my life is better for it. Much better. I’m in the moment now when I ride and don’t need it to be anything else. If the work is a struggle, give it away. It should be a joy. On your deathbed you won’t say “I wish I had worked harder”, you will wish you had lived more.

As the weather moderates I sense a flicker of energy for riding and making more pictures!

I certainly recognize that I’ve taken the “same” picture before. But it’s never really the same save for the location. And better — that’s something I just shouldn’t think about.

Time will tell whether I will be wearing that beret. I’ve tried one on. Doesn’t seem to be me anymore than a cowboy had is.

As to you in a french beret…..the true way would be to of course wear it while Vespa’ing on some French country lane…..
