I am guilty, guilty as charged… I thought I was going to be a more frequent blogger. I have so many thoughts and experiences going on in my head all the time.
But it isn’t until I take off in Ally2 I reflect more thoroughly and trying to make sense of it all. There is just nothing like experiencing Mother Nature and her beauty. Being on the road is an incredible way to spend your time. To connect with yourself, your mind, your body..I think they call it “to get anchored, rooted” or something. IDK!🤷🏻
On this trip we set out with one plan in mind, only to do something completely different as we just followed our gut feelings. That’s what is so cool, when you are free you can do that, to bend with the breeze…if you only give yourself time to breathe.
We are “loop people”! Are you? We do everything we can to not go back and forth, in and out, but always do a loop if possible. It keeps everything new and exciting. Not like when you do an in and out hike, you know that all the downhills will be uphill on your way back… 🫣😰
But sometimes going back the same way creates a completely new experience as you see things from a new angle. It’s like a bonus trip! A new beauty.
Right now we are retracing some of a motorcycle trip we did lots of years ago. We didn’t get to do what we wanted because we had a little snaffu with the mc and I hurt my foot and we had to head home.
We have seen so much beauty these last few days, not like the ones you always hear about the “must see” surrounded by crowds of people. I have often tried to define what beauty is for me, and I have yet to find anything that takes my breath away as much as nature and everything in it. The quiet, peaceful rhythm, water making its way to where it always goes, changing of leaf colors and majestic canyons and mountains. The sunset shows and occasional sunrise splendor (the few times I am awake that early) just leaves me speechless and in awe.🫢
I hope you all take the opportunity to take a break from every day hassle and go out and see what nature has to offer. In a very extraordinary way, it can realign your perspective, take a deep breath and gaining your second wind…go find it and bend with the breeze.
