I was smiling in my helmet, feeling blessed for what I had experienced and excited to reach home. A flood of thoughts and realizations came forward and greeted me and then faded. Inspiration sometimes is hard to hold onto. I’m hoping as the days pass and I think on the trip, that I’ll be able to capture some of those feelings and put them on paper. Sometimes thoughts, realizations, and ideas are like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. As I rode, I didn’t try to hold too tight to those thoughts and ideas. It was like all the wonderful moments of this trip. You just have to let it unfold and “be here now,” be in the moment.
