Riding a motorcycle
Riding a motorcycle
Why riding a bike is so absolutely awesome.
I guess it already starts out as a child. This first means of transportation translates in quite a few ways of feeling free. Right now, I am talking about the sized- up motorized thing as an adult. My mind goes madly wild all day long with trading and I am named the "fix-a- flat" which means that everybody comes to me with their problems and I do research all day long to help them out as best as I can. When on the bike it’s like a video game-it's about one’s life and survival-so my mind is than focused only on the here and now-on the video game of making it through traffic without losing my life-so all one’s mind is doing is focusing right here right now on the imminent moment and as such its better than any Zen or meditation or mind calming I tried before-riding a bike is absolute bliss since all one does is enjoy the moment and the wind in one’s hair. So almost everybody can have a few moments of ecstasy each day, given it has its risks, and experience instantly what some find hard to achieve with daily routines of some mental practice of trying to quiet one’s mind and living in the here and now rather than the future or the past. This isn’t meant as advice to risk one’s life in traffic but rather to share with those who have never ridden a bike about why those who have find it so satisfying.
