Thoughts and observations from two long days in the saddle

This past weekend, my wife and I did another MS Bike tour, this one 200 miles over 2 windy days.  It was a great opportunity to spend some quality time together, as well as a bit of a physical challenge.  It was a good couple of days, both physically and spiritually, and in some ways, the lessons crossed in both directions.

We tend to think of the physical and the spiritual as two things, thanks to the legacy of Greek philosophers like Plato.  I am seeing this as less and less the case.  As human beings, we are both physical and spiritual entities, and it seems foolish to subdivide our nature.

Anyway, this is a fistful of observations, lessons and humor from the weekend.
