Sometimes the universe is not subtle

I took my mountain bike out for a ride this evening. I can't remember the last time that poor bike left the garage. Just a quick spin around Eagle/Sage to see if the parts were still working. A startled flock of starlings circled low across the trail in front of me. A small gang of magpies reluctantly cleared a path for me a few minutes later. I went down the only steep section without freaking out. The setting sun hit the pond just right. The mesa and the fields below it glowed green and gold. The clouds were amazing. A heron flew over on my way home. You'll have to take my word for it. I didn't bring my camera. I was riding my bike.

The unspoken question. "See what you've been missing?"

Thanks, universe.
