Maybe it's the altitude. Or the physical exercise (we just passed 215 total cycling miles in 3 days). Also, it could be that I've been "out-of-the-office" for 6 days now...
Here's the experience:
Where there is space, something will fill it. Looking up at the Colorado Rockies, I am astounded by the "bigness" of it all. It seems at times that what I observe is one giant canvas, painted in a way that is at the same time chaotic AND deliberate.
In the "spaces" yesterday - between mountain climbs, between aid stations filled with sandwiches, fruit and sunscreen (!), between the silent spaces without any birds singing or rivers running - I let my mind wander into the now.
In that silent space, and reflecting on the very moment, life, breath, exertion, focus and experience are all enhanced. I gotta wonder, is this possible while seated at my desk writing the next chapter of my book???
Well, that's for another moment, I'm back to this one for now!
