Love is inclusive. It Unites.<\/i><\/div>\n
It knows not of separation.<\/i><\/div>\n
Grow in the Light of Love<\/i><\/div>\n
and it’s Heaven’s Promise<\/i><\/div>\n
that you will be fulfilled.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
These words rattle around my skull as I shift into gear and follow the road until it turns into dirt, leaving the cabins and trailers behind in the morning dust.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I want to remember Fruitland from the mountain top, the specks and dots of those I love down in the valley below. I turn the corner, push the throttle, and continue to climb.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Cottontail rabbits are everywhere, hurriedly running from the sound of the engine. The irony of my own departure isn’t lost with the scampering of soft bunnies feet.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I smile and continue to climb.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
The engine chokes at 10,000 feet. I calmly rock the machine back and forth until she gets back into neutral, then start again.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sometimes I need to heed that same motion into this new phase of life.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I push the motor’s limits and feel the whipped frenzy of wind against my face. My hat goes flying off into the sagebrush.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A helmet would have prevented such an incident, and should be worn anyway….<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This ride wasn’t about safety though, it was about memories.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
and in that respect, the day was a success.<\/div>\n
