Orange bike on a green bridge

Winter will be here soon enough. So for now we throw a leg over the bike and ride it to places that bring us joy.

And we’ll park it on bridges older than our grandparents so we can linger among the green-painted girders for a while and feel the gentle warmth of the light reflecting off of the wooden deck.

And we’ll smile at strangers and have quick chats with them about the wonderful season before they turn the corner and disappear from view.

And we’ll close our eyes and listen to the breeze in the trees. We’ll smell the slightly moldy smell of autumn as wispy leaves float down and skitter past our feet.

And we’ll watch the birds dance in the skies above. We’ll wonder where they’ll go after the leaves are gone and the snows return, and we’ll wish them a safe journey.

And soon enough we’ll throw a leg over the bike again and push off for destinations possibly known, possibly not.

What matters isn’t where we’re going. What matters is that we set off at all, and stop along the way to remember how it feels.
