At some point in the last few years, my aging body got traded in for a newer model. Many of the options my old me had, stamina and agility this new model isn’t equipped with. The speed of action and reaction aided by flexibility, strength, and sharp senses of the former; again not part of the new. Those add-ons made it possible to live fast and experience much but finally wore me out. You know, I don’t actually remember trading that old rattletrap in for this new hybrid but it’s pretty decked out; slower but doesn’t need as much energy. The base model Lee, which is what I got, comes with a much more tuned awareness of what is important for life. Warmth, love, touch, smiling, pausing to see, prolonged alone quietness, being present, being quiet, doing quality acts and works, listening to people, animals, and the earth, meditating and reading quality literature about meaningful people, waving, and cruising back roads all standard on the new Lee. This new model is something to live, its suspension causes me to feel a lot more of the pain of the road but the slower pace allows me to enjoy more of what is important on the road of life.
