Thursday, 27 July 2006 - Bicycle dreams

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for bicycle dreams.

After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable. A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go. You ride through Dreamland on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow. ~H.G. Wells, The Wheels of Chance

I'll never be a great cyclist. On most days, I'm barely a competent one. But, at least, in my mind's eye, I can imagine what it feels like to fly up the steepest roads and swoop down the mountainside with a daredevil's courage.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
