Watch it now. I’m sure the mods work hard to keep this forum a family-friendly one.
Because they can’t stand the smell or the conversation ?
I once described fishing or riding a motorcycle to meditative? The person I was speaking with, after further description, said to me, "It sounds like it's actually more hyper focused/hypnotic, which can be relaxing as well. Especially for those with brains that have trouble 'turning off'. "I can relate to it. My mind is typically running in a thousand different directions. Even in my truck I have to physically put my phone in the console to prevent myself from picking it up at every stop light... but on a bike? I don't think about my phone. I don't think about work. I think about the pot hole I see 50 yards ahead of me and what the guy two cars up in the other lane is doing. It probably sounds exhausting to other people... being hyperfocused while riding... but it isn't for me. It's relaxing. It's freeing. My mind is singly focused and it feels good. Same with fishing for me. If you come fishing with me, don't expect small talk about your feelings or a new job... maybe a "How deep did you catch that last bass?" every five minutes, but that's about it.
“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 Motorcycle 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.”― Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
