  • Our Meeting Place

    When last we met along the way,
    The two of us, or sometimes more,
    Knit close together by the moment,
    Touching.
    Close together by what's common,
    Bonding.
    Close together by what's different,
    Shaping.

    We came away so subtly changed,
    I can't explain, I'm somehow more,
    A growing more inside my thinking,
    Shaped.
    Growing more inside my feeling,
    Bonded.
    Growing more inside my being,
    Touched.

    Loving God with all my heart.
    And loving you, my neighbor too.
    I specially meet to think of Him,
    Glorify.
    Specially meet to think of you,
    Satisfy.
    Specially meet to think of life,
    and record the minutes
    from our last meeting.

Bicycle Built for Two

Uncategorized

It’s been nearly two years since I took her out. She used to hang out in the garage. But since we moved last June, she’s been in a storage unit.

“She” is our tandem bicycle. And she’s for sale.

I brought her home last week and gave her a bath. Today I rewrapped the handlebars. I think the wireless computer needs new batteries, but that’s easy. The tubes are even holding air!

Sherry and I put quite a few miles on her after I gave up road cycling. There was that organized ride when we made a sudden turn on a wet brick roadway and landed on our side. People across the street just sat on their curb and watched.

Now we live farther away from the bike path, we have less space to store her, and we no longer have a vehicle that will carry her.

Want a tandem? Come on over. She’s looking forward to finding somebody who will take her out. Soon.
