Sharing a Biscuit

I was on a motorcycle ride with a friend along a lonely stretch of road in some farm country. We stopped to have a snack along the way and I had a conversation that went something like this:
“Sitting by the side of the road. Yes, a stop along the way is best in rides of adventure—all types of adventure.”
“What might one be?” you ask. You’re being coy, I can tell by the little smirk upon your face. You have that little snickle in your nose. You have that rise along your brow…
“Oh, yes I do,” you cheerily reply.
“And that’s not all. Watch how grasses wave, back and forth, and join with wind to propel them (along with brethren by their sides) in harmonious flow, side to side, welcoming the breath of warm puffs now.”
“I’m starting to see the picture you say. My eyes were too often clouded over before,” you inform me.
“But notice how our spirits drift to visit and touch the beauty surrounds. How our senses seem so pure. How we can feel as if our body wishes to engulf, to absorb, all the pleasure showing itself.”
“Ah, yes,” you agree. “And here I thought we only stopped for a taste of biscuit.”
“My friend, my friend. Everything within our view is here for us to taste. I would share it no better with anyone else.”

I know what you mean about time for everything, evidently you haven't wasted much of yours! Please write more about bike trips, everything is different on a bike! Thanks.--
It's always a pleasure, no, a duty, to share the world with those who will travel in hand.

Oh the wonders gleaned by the eyes of bikers, no matter pedal or motor. You assemble God's handiwork in ways few can fathom.
“And that’s not all. Watch how grasses wave, back and forth, and join with wind to propel them (along with brethren by their sides) in harmonious flow, side to side, welcoming the breath of warm puffs now."
Read these words and behold the mysteries God bestows.

Dawn,
Don't we love most to "feel" the words? And consider we have a whole dictionary left!

Hi Ron.
I can access your articles today!
I don't ride a motorcycle but I do ride horses. Trail rides are my favorite. You get such a panoramic view atop a horse and the horse watches where he is going and putting his feet so you don't have to bother. I also love to hike. But while hiking you have to stop now and then and just look around rather than at where you are putting your feet.
Your story very well encompasses the feeling of appreciating the natural world around us!
Hugs,
Dianne

Dianne,
I'm glad you're able to check up on me now! And true, it's always better when we can just let the world around us engulf us.
