In The Moment

As a group of largely type A personalities, we are however agreed on one thing. Rather than be constantly anxious, fretting or even just mindful of the future, we are all totally in the moment on this trip. It's partly the previously mentioned intensity, also the meditative nature of repetitive physical movement, but for me, more than anything, it's the fact that I really don't care what happens at any other time than now. If tomorrow, or even in the next hour, it rains, I don't care - I'm going to be riding my bike. If it's hilly, or windy, or even if the bike breaks totally, I'm going to keep going. This is in strong contrast to my usual tarty approach to life! So basically there's nothing to think or worry about - it's simple. I'll keep going today, and see about the next day when it gets here. Lovely. And very very life changing, or so I hope.
