Well, Wednesday when I started my motorcycle and was able to ride, I rediscovered what makes me really really happy --> Mobility. I now have four sets of wheels: the Trailer, the pick-up (Lady Almathea), the mc (Red Bull) & Neith - the Dragon (my new Bicycle). I love wheels (or spirals) and things that go round and round like the Zodiac - esp. beautiful out here with out night lights. I used to try to envision my daily routes in the big city (Berlin) as completing some kind of circle. I was grateful that I always made it home this way, and that it was part of my routine.
I think there is something about being on my bike or motorcycle that totally reinforces presence and consciousness. The Butt & Seat rule ---> always good to have your butt and head in the same place if you want to stay alive and conscious. Especially, on a bike or motorcycle, it is like Martial Arts, you must be conscious of the negative forces that may be out to get you - so you can maintain your own balance and life force. There isn't time to figure out what and where and why you have other things going on - "they" may all be out to kill you and probably are --- especially if they drink drive and/or text, . . .
T or C is a town of riders and drunks (and other UN-/conscious people). But, like any other group of survivors, we recognize one another and there is some small amount of respect for staying alive.
I like this. Even in my pick-up between Las Cruces and T or C, especially on the back roads, it is a very meditative time. I think my mind is so fast that it is in mobility that I find the peace of many many pictures that crowd out all the other visuals and voices. The roof has never been as important as the wheels. This is probably why it is so beautiful to have both. I really could move the Dragonfly Lodge again - if I needed to.
For now tho - the DfL is on a lot next to the Rio Grande River. I will let the River move / flow, and I will find a way to go to sleep tonight and maybe have dreams of wheels, . . .
