I've been driving 55 on the highway the past few years and I agree, it has been a significant factor in feeling more peaceful and having a LOT less road rage.

I've also been through a very rough year in which I felt a lot of grief for a particular thing which then allowed the grief I'd been feeling most of my life to fall out as well. I've learned a lot about myself and my impact on others. And I've been slowly discovering what my other feelings and needs are, too, which have always been elusive. I'm grateful for the slowing down and for the grief blow that broke me open.

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. I am starting to feel as though the speed with which we move through the world may be the thing causing us the most useless pain and suffering. Slowing down is healing.

Ugh. That is SO REAL. I find myself frequently overcome with feelings when I ride my bike. Sometimes it's utter joy and lightness, and other times I'm overcome with grief. I never really know what I'm going to get, but I can say, it's nice to have them. It may be uncomfortable at first, but I just know feeling your own feelings is going to open a whole new beautiful, painful, powerful world for you!
