It seems like forever since I have ridden to work, but it's probably been about two weeks. The heat here, and almost everywhere, has been brutal. And then we had several rainy days, which, although it broke through the heat and humidity a little, were not conducive to riding either.
Today was much cooler and the lake was calm. No marching boats in the various harbors, just standing at parade rest. I am really bonding with my bike, now that I have had it for over a year and all of the relatively minor mechanical problems have been rectified. It is just a joy to ride, and I left a little early this morning so the traffic was not too bad.
From one of the quotes in my collection that I use in my email address and closing, which I usually change weekly, I have discovered a man named Jiddu Krishnamurti. The quote is
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
I am in a bit of a contemplative mood so I am going to look into his writings. Anyone familiar with his writings?
