In Contact
Since I'm riding the bicycle as my main transport, this following paragraph taken from the novel, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, by Robert Pirsig, expresses a feeling I have at times while I bike on...
On a [bi]cycle the frame is gone. You're completely in contact with all. You're in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming. That concrete whizzing by five inches below your foot is the real thing, the same stuff you walk on, it's right there, so blurred you can't focus on it, yet you can put your foot down and touch it anytime, and the whole thing, the whole experience, is never removed from immediate consciousness.

Higher Power
I believe that the Universe embraces the all, everything. There is no interference, no chance, for behind every event are the necessary causes, and that beyond every event will be necessary effects. The entire universe is, in some way, connected; every persons nurturing thoughts, emotions, words, beliefs and actions are in harmony with the mysterious flow of cause and effect at every scale. Neither denials, nor delusion can change the fact. The universe is as it is, and it will be as it must be.
