When you drive, you are doing several things at once. You are using your eyes, ears, hands, your mind. If you have meditated for many years and have reached a lofty height in your meditation, as I have, you can meditate while running and cycling and painting. ↗

I love it when the left and when the president say, 'Don't try to impose your values on us, you folks who hold your Bibles in your hand and cling to your guns.' They have values too. Our values are based on religion, based on life. Their values are based on a religion of self. ↗

Everything about riding a bicycle compels you towards beauty. ↗

Before the house you live in was built, there was an empty space, before the tree could provide shade to you, the tree was just a seed, before you were born, part of you existed within two separate people, and when you die, the house, the tree and your body will cease to exist as your mind perceives them today. Be free from the illusion of ownership over, this and that; Wake up, and embrace a reality of constant change, go with the flow, and enjoy the ride, be free today! ↗

It was Sunday, and Mumma had gone next door with Lena and the little ones. Under the pepper tree in the yard Pa was sorting, counting, the empty bottles he would sell back: the bottles going clink clink as Pa stuck them in the sack. The fowls were fluffing in the dust and sun: that crook-neck white pullet Mumma said she would hit on the head if only she had the courage to; but she hadn't. ↗

Ever bike? Now that's something that makes life worth living!...Oh, to just grip your handlebars and lay down to it, and go ripping and tearing through streets and road, over railroad tracks and bridges, threading crowds, avoiding collisions, at twenty miles or more an hour, and wondering all the time when you're going to smash up. Well, now, that's something! And then go home again after three hours of it...and then to think that tomorrow I can do it all over again! ↗

Life is happiness, life is death; we are born, we grow old, and we die. There is nothing is wrong with the cycle of life, our time on earth had a limit set at the very moment we were born. ↗

Being Contented goes beyond our material wants; contentment sets us free from the illusion of having more or “Better things”, or expecting “better times" it sets us free from the illusion that somehow things should be different. ↗
