So i have Finally reached the point where i could not resist. Climbing atop a big old barrel of hay was an awesome experience. Why? I have no idea. It just was trust me.
Lately, Several times a day I've had to stop and remind myself of something. "Oh yea, I am currently living a dream. Riding my bike across the country." This is usually followed by several minutes or miles of smiles or laughter. It is an awesome feeling.
At the moment I'm feeling very expansive or effusive, unrestrained, free, or open as EB would say. I feel as though I am soaking up all the awesomeness, excitement, and amaziness this trip has to offer and I'll never get full. This has lead me to seriously consider doing the trip again as a leader. My goal there would be to help other novice bikers and housing advocates have an amazing experience like I am having. Helping others through this challenge and powerful expericne would an awesome reward.
