Reflections of the Day

Day 3 — June 15, 2013 on the Hazon (Vision in Hebrew) 2013 Cross-USA Bicycle Ride. This summer I am going to spend nine weeks bicycling 70 miles a day and writing my way across the United States. This is the story of my journey home to love, to Judaism, to a full life.

Reflections of the Day on the Hazon Cross USA Bicycle Ride

Light reflecting off the river
blackberry flowers
on the mirrored water
reflected images of the Hazon cyclist ahead

A mirror at a sharp turn
on the path
a big silvery globe
above the traffic
extending sight
around the corner
catching the light

Clouds and shades of mossy green
on the glassy pond surface
a watering hole for brown cows

Oblivious to what we are reflecting
into the world on which we reflect
what does the light bouncing off of me look like?

Reflecting on the first Cross USA day
the Journey has begun.
