Living the adventure now

Living in the moment. Focused on the now. Being committed to the very day. How hard is that to do? We seem to be always thinking about our next move. Our tomorrow or next week issue. Yet everything is happening in this one moment in time. Life is unfolding second by second. Can we simply […]

The quiet, part 2

The quiet seems to have hit a chord. There was a time when quiet was alive and well. There was a time when quiet was better understood. Appreciated. Respected. Cherished.

A motorcycle and a dance in time

I saddled up the Harley early. There was a wonderful chill in the air. I bundled up and put on a face mask under my helmet. The Patagonia vest was perfect under the leather jacket. It was a cold ride especially when the speeds got up to 65 mph. I passed folks in their cars […]

As we saddled up and rolled them out it just felt great to be back on the road. In thinking about living ageless never forget to […]

Acknowledge Your Fellow Travelers

The motorcycles turned off route 287 just outside of Longmont and headed up to Carter Lake. It was a winding road that passed ranches, acres of empty land and massive, out of a movie, horse farms. Then at the top is Carter Lake. Sail boats dot the water. The mountain peaks rise above the lake. […]

Going Back Home

The two motorcycles turned down the street heading to the first house that the riders ever owned. That is the thing about motorcycles. They go up and down streets and back and forward through time. We stopped in front of the house. It has been over 30 years. The house looked its age. But to […]

The Fallacy of the Age Myth

As I ride the motorcycle across the back roads of the Florida Everglades, I reflect on the life journey. That is the beauty of a motorcycle. No radio, cell phone, blackberry, or other diversion. Just the open road, the motorcycle and you. On the back roads, up Snake Road, and through the Indian reservation, I […]
