I have never flown…

May 4, 2012 / No Comments

So far I’ve watched this Japanese motocycle crafter video 3x. It takes my breath away.

I first saw it on Seesalt, a beautifully simple website for encountering little moments of art.

This quote helps me understand motocycle drivers, as I never have before:

It feels nothing like how violent it looks from the outside

It’s very serene

The ground and the sky are so white, there is no boundary between them

I have never flown, but it feels like flying in an airplane using a reciprocating engine

I can’t tell you how peaceful it is.

Hi! I live in Vermont with my husband Joe and our four daughters: 11, 9, 6, and 3.

Writing on this blog is fluid. In an effort to just keep going I try to publish things before they feel ready or perfect, and I often come back and edit them again, later on. Its primary purpose is a way to engage with others on topics that otherwise swirl about in my mind in a lonely way. I spend most of my time homeschooling and learning alongside the girls. I grew up in Michigan and was homeschooled with my six siblings until I went to high school. I believe in God; our family attends a Mennonite church.
