A Mountain Top Trike Ride / A Fire Filled Sunset

 


Song:  Alone

Artist:  Ray Wilson


As evening came today...
I saw nice clouds in the sky...
and so...
it was a perfect time to trike up to the top of the mountain with Bandi.



Bandi resting for just a minute or so on the way to the top.


I arrived at the top of the mountain just in time 
to see the sun begin its descent behind the clouds.









As the sun reappeared...
it was framed nicely by the lower clouds.





After fully descending...
the resulting glow of the clouds looked like a lake of fire.



A quick look at the eastern clouds...


...and then one last shot of the western skies.

The colors had faded fast...
so...
Bandi and I headed back home.

You want motivation to trike?

Trike to a beautiful sunset.

The included song (Alone) was playing in my head as I watched this sunset.
It is one of my favorite songs.
It is so soulful.

I just love...love...love...
all of the great simple pleasures of life...
especially that of beautiful music...
 and that of beautiful sunsets.

I am having the time of my life here.
I get so much joy out of everything.

Although I could let certain things bother me...
I don't...and I won't.

Life is just too wonderful to let it be spoiled by the uncontrollable events in it.

By living life...
by filling it with things which move the soul to depths unreachable by sadness...
all that is left is deep happiness.

To have the grand beauty of a sunset from atop my mountain...
and with it being just fifteen minutes away by trike...
and with my arriving with just a slight burning in my thighs and breathing deeply...
I then have my body and soul primed to view one of my favorite sights in life...
a deeply emotional and soul reverberating sunset.

Everything in life just coalesces...
becomes crystal clear...
where all doubts and problems disappear...
and nothing but pure joy remains.

It is during a beautiful sunset that the subconscious melds the orchestra of the mind...
with the movie of the mind...
and into a flight of fancy where you are soaring amongst the clouds yourself.

By falling in love with music and sunsets...
you fall in love with life.

Love is your armor...
and it is your trusty warhorse upon which you ride through life...
without hinderance...
without fear...
and with everything positive as you live life with great anticipation of a grand future...
and appreciation for what you have built...
and of all the great simple pleasures which abound in and around us.


In case you missed it...
I love sunsets  :)
