In being chatty, the thing that comes to mind on a bike ride is how you feel or how you are doing. It seems like the topic is easily tied to the ride or working out. That would be my excuse. I ride mostly with two other guys and one is very chatty and almost always about how he is doing or feeling. Lots of times his talk is probably a blend of truth and joking or gregarious exaggeration. <br />Almost always, our chatting leads to laughter and (maybe) keeping our mind off pedaling. I see it in our context as a form or entertainment and pastime.

Those who don't are likely to live inside some sort solipsistic personal helland make life with them a distortion of a potentially optimal reality. Okay now to jump off my soap box and drop a quote from Bhagavad Gita, The Yoga of the Supreme Person, Text 16, "There are two classes, the fallible and the infallible. In the material world every entity is fallibke, and in the spiritual world every entity is infallible."<br /><br />At least go for a ride. If I whine about it upon embarking it's just the material being being.<br /><br />There is the chance that while riding the material being might get absorbed enough to let the spiritual being manifest momentarily for some reason.<br /><br />A moment of infallibility, or an instance of ludicrous behavior? <br /><br />Not sure. But that's all we get sometimes.Dig?Sorcererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13547696094660249034noreply@blogger.com
