A Sunday Bike Ride

I decided to take a long bike ride today, since the weather was so perfect. I rode out by the river and took the bike path there, which is lovely. Then, my long ride turned into a longer one than I had counted on because I got lost! I really wish I had a better sense of direction! I wasn't too worried though; it was a beautiful day, I had plenty of time, and if I got really desperate, I had my cell phone with me. As it turned out, I was able to find my way back on my one.

Since I wasn't completely devoid of energy yet, I decided to bike over to HomePlus and do my grocery shopping. The ride back was rather interesting: the grocery bag got caught in my wheel, so I had to hold it on my arm the rest of the way home in order to keep it from catching again. The bag had a nice rip in it, so I don't think I breathed the entire way back! I was so paranoid that my groceries were going to go flying out on the road. Luckily, the groceries made it safely home without further incident.

Below are some pictures I snapped during my ride (prior to grocery shopping):

"Passage—immediate passage! the blood burns in my veins! Away, O soul! hoist instantly the anchor!
Cut the hawsers—haul out—shake out every sail!
Have we not stood here like trees in the ground long enough?
Have we not grovell’d here long enough, eating and drinking like mere brutes?
Have we not darken’d and dazed ourselves with books long enough?

Sail forth! steer for the deep waters only!
Reckless, O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me;
For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go, And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.

O my brave soul!
O farther, farther sail!
O daring joy, but safe! Are they not all the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail!"

~Walt Whitman, "Passage to India"
