Observing Lent From a Different Perspective (an Ode to Ash Wednesday)...

As today marks the first day of Lent, I felt it worthwhile to explore a few topics on the matter.

First, cycling.

As you may know, I try to spend a lot of time on my bike. I love getting outside, breathing deep of the fresh air and enjoying the songs of birds as I ride through quiet streets. I love the rhythm of the turning of the pedals, and how that rhythm propels the bike quickly down the road. I love riding hills, because the hills make me stronger and I feel like I’ve accomplished something each and every time I summit.

I guess I just love that cycling teaches me so much about life in general.

On Changing Course

I am just a regular guy with a propensity to write. I don’t honestly know if I write for you or for my own catharsis, but I write nonetheless. OK, a more accurate statement would be that I used to write. That was before my heart fell asleep, but it’s beginning to wake up just a bit, so I figured I’d get back on the saddle, at least for a little while, and see what happens.
