The Bike Race

Life is ever changing.
$3000 bike,
A constant race through the mountains;
The concern for quality,
Competition,
the expected recognition.

Now it does not make a difference if it is
titanium or aluminum.
It is still a ride, but the ride is very different.

I have time to smell the creatures of the sea.
Hear the dangling leaves from the palm trees make music.
The ocean swells moving back and forth and the breeze softly caressing my skin.

The race is over.

-Take the time to enjoy every moment given to us, instead of being part of the rush of life.
We think that we own time; yet, we are at its mercy. When we are not looking, time just passes by.
Enjoy the ride!
