A favorite past time of mine is going on a motorcycle ride.
One of the best times is when the sun is setting. On an exquisite evening the
sky stirs into colors of pink, blue, orange, and yellow. The sun is a big round
orange sphere levitating over the Midwestern plains where we are cruising
around. I usually enjoy this splendid view with my boyfriend who is driving the
motorcycle while I hold onto him. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Moments like these I like to pause and take in how the present time can literally be a present.
I pause and file the moment away into my memories, because simple things, like
cruising on the motorcycle with my man are delightful experiences to look back
on and smile. A smile that may be needed on a rainy day possibly. These are the
thoughts that across my mind as I overlook the beautiful horizon and spend time
with someone dear to me. I truly appreciate it and count my blessings.
Un-pause.
Of course, away from the city is also best to enjoy a nice
ride and see the country side. Along the way there are cows, horses, a few
donkeys, and maybe even a goat or two. The scenery is relaxing. There are
plenty of windy roads as well to have some fun doing turns. Sometimes when we
hit a steep turn my tummy fills with butterflies. The sensation almost feels
like we are about to tip over, but honestly we are not even turning so abruptly.
I also most likely am probably exaggerating the turns, but nonetheless the
turns are fun.
The natural light is winding down and soon the fireflies
start to twinkle in every direction. We both know it is time to go back home
with a safe return.
