I have a pedestrian view of the rain. I never move fast enough to get injured from my own speed but I am keenly aware of the speed of others. In the rain as with the painful experiences of life; much of the discomfort comes from what others are doing as they drive by. Having showered in the puddle splashed up by a passing car or truck, I have to remind myself that they didn't plan to spray me with muddy water. More often than not the suffering that is splashed on me is not intended for me but simply a conequence of being close to those who are traveling by a different method. I'm learning to lean to the inside of the sidewalk and forgive the ignorance of those who don't even know I am there. As a walker rather than a rider. I have a pedestrian view of the rain.

I don't ride a motorcycle (unless it's piggyback with you), but it's true that God teaches us through adversity. Miss ya. Joe,

good stuff bro. I don’t ride a motorcycle (unless it’s piggyback with you), but it’s true that God teaches us through adversity. Miss ya.
