Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Unless you’re fond of hollering you don’t make great conversations on a running cycle. Instead you spend your time being aware of things and meditating on them…thinking about things at great leisure and length without being hurried and without feeling your’e losing time.


What I would like to do is use the time that is coming now to talk about some things that have come to mind. We’re in such a hurry most of the time we never get much chance to talk. The result is a kind of endless day-to-day shallowness, a monotony that leaves a person wondering years later where the time went and sorry that it’s all gone.
