The Beauty of Days

Twilight

Time has a pulse--a beat. It moves always into the what will be. Time is comforting in that sense. It will bring you sunny days and rainy days. It will bring you dawns and dusks.

It will bring you closer to your future.

Appreciating the beauty of time requires the appreciation of each moment for its own nowness. We need not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Tomorrow will bring its own moments of nowness if we'll only allow ourselves to pause and feel it.

Feel it, hold it.

I was thinking today of how good friends uplift our spirits through even the littlest things. It might even be the simple act of saying "Hello" when you call them on the phone. That little word spoken with genuine kindness bathes the hearer in such warmth.

It's as if you 're holding sunshine in your hands.

Riding, too, brings that sense of completeness to one's soul. Like time, riding has a rhythm and pace. Each turn is an act of nowness--of completeness.

Sunrise to sunset, corner to corner, we ride through time. If we're lucky we actually allow ourselves to feel and love each moment of the journey.
