The Red Bike has served, on occasion, as a metaphor. A chariot of sorts where all things are an adventure.
I am now suffering from a hip injury, brought on by the over-training to complete a triathlon. Make no mistake, my first triathlon was worth it! Three weeks off of the bike has been extremely difficult though. Not only the stress of lack of exercise, but lots of life changes as well.
I am grateful for a new source of energy and reflection. My wonderful husband of 28 years introduced this source. We are now "Doing the Tao"... The Tao was written more than 2,500 years ago by Lao Tzu. The premise seems to be most needed today. Big thanks to Dr. Wayne W. Dyer for his translation of this important work to the 21st century.

Verse One: LIVING THE MYSTERY
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The Tao is both named and nameless. As nameless it is the origin of all things; as named it is the Mother of the 10,000 things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery; ever desiring, one sees only the manifestations. And the mystery itself is the doorway to all understanding.
Every day presents a mystery. I commit to allowing the mystery to unfold. Avoid controlling every situation, as control is impossible and does not allow me to enjoy the mystery.
