I went for a long bike ride today–without my I-pod ON!

I went for a long bike ride today–without my I-pod ON!

Often it is music, an audio book, or lecture that I listen too,  as I run, hike, roller blade, or cycle to sustain my shapely self.

However, I realized that being in nature today could include listening to birds chirping, and wind rustling through fields of hay. I spent time “feeling” not doing the experience of cycling. As the cool wind glided over me I reflected upon God. Not as a Mystical Being, or Fatherly figure but as a presence. In doing so, I knew that God was everywhere. There IT was just allowing me to be a part of that moment. It Being both the Giver and Receiver of all.

It is funny to be in nature and see how its “occupants”  the grasses, leaves, branches, animals, insects etc..  know to allow themselves to be moved, rained upon, shook, and trampled on, without resistance of any kind. Gratefully this morning, we all allowed the sun to shine upon us with warm rays of golden light! It was awesome!

I ended the ride with a strong remembrance; that I as we all are,  am an intrical and somewhat sacred part of a Cosmic Dance to rejoice in.
