The leather jacket is black. The vanson label on the shoulder gives it the official seal of quality and just the right amount of this is serious attitude.
The sunglasses are put in place, the gloves slip on , the helmet is snug. All necessary rituals to give the ride the attention to detail that it deserves.
Rituals. This exercise got me reflecting on the rituals we all engage in.
The actions leading up to the action.
We all have rituals. Like the warm up before the work out; whether the chosen color or good luck anything before the challenge,the rituals are an integral part of the whole. Such an interesting moment in time.
It shows that everything is connected in all things we do. There are truly no isolated movements or decisions. They are all linked together. They all effect one another.
Never think there isn't linkage. Take the time to build into the decision and the choices the full experience. It is not merely preparation. It is a section of the ultimate experience itself.
That is why there is no wasted time or energy.
That is why years aren't wasted or lost. It may have just been an extended ritual for the next connected part of your journey.
It makes the ageless experiment a full contact event. Engage it all. Be committed to it all…even that small part that you do not believe is big enough to focus on. It is. Putting on the jacket, the sunglasses, the gloves, the helmet are all part of the ride. Live all parts of your life. There are no small parts to it.
