"These are a few of my favorite things...." | |
A final thought....from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance (which has NOTHING
to do
with Zen <or> motorcycle maintenance).
You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that
is
completely different from any other. In a car you're
always
in a compartment, and because you're used to it
you don't
realize that through that car window everything you see
is
just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving
by you boringly in a frame.
On a cycle the frame is gone. You're completely in contact
with it 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.
