i am settling in california. when i am fully settled, i expect to be more thoughtful and relaxed; things are going wellish in the meantime.
my three-month house is six miles distant from the office, and the recommended way in is by a bike trail that spans most of the distance. i have acquired a bike (thanks, google) and will be taking this route twice per day; it's looking to be a 40-minute ride until I end up in better shape. my goal with this commute is to be reflective and generally construct better mental health while biking. this will require firstly going fast enough for it to be exercise but slowly enough that my awareness isn't totally absorbed by physical exertion, and secondly waking up early enough that i can make the trip back home before it gets dark (breakfast also can't hurt).
i need to try posting frequently enough to record the many little thoughts i have before they fall out of my head.
travel,
introspection,
biking,
