For Commuting by Bike
- June 30, 2023
A ride to and from work can be strictly transportation. Is there a way to transform this time into something special which prepares me for the challenges and experiences of my work ahead?
What a blessing
to utilize the gift of this body
along with this machine
to travel at a reflective pace,
experience fresh air,
and benevolent state.
What a blessing
to take in this route through all my senses,
to learn the roads, paths, neighborhoods,
cities, and countrysides I pass by regularly.
What a blessing
to be a trail of kindness each day
through this small piece of the world
and the people along this way.
I ask for safe passage, kind conditions,
attentive and courteous drivers.
May this time riding bring my heart
into a place where I can offer my best
to my work as an expression of love
for the people I work with,
for the clients, customers, and people
I have the honor of serving,
and for the job I get to do each day.
