Living & Riding Free!

A woman who rides a motorcycle is in tune with the universe, a candidate for high adventure. You ought to try it. -Celestine Sibley, celebrated journalist and author

As women motorcyclists, we live and ride free. We are candidates griping the handlebars of our destiny, singing at the top of our lungs, unable to contain our sheer bliss as we glide down the highway.

Oh that you would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory. . . (prayer of Jabez, the Bible, 1 Chronicles 4:10). I love this prayer, and that one line sums up so much of the living and riding free experience. When I saddle up on my motorcycle for any journey, Im like a kid in a candy store hungry for that next great experience. In order to have it, Ive got to get out there and expand some territory because I want to reach beyond what I know; travel out of presupposed boundaries and catch some wind. I want to be blessed and receive a fascinating good time on my ride, and expand my body, mind, soul and heart, and enjoy my free will.

I want to be blessed to melt with the changing landscape, as the landscapes transform me. I want my two wheels to drive me to expansive territory physically, mentally, and spiritually that I sure would never have known otherwise. I want to be blessed to expand my sense of self and reach far beyond my usual busy, stressful routines. I want to be blessed so that I can experience the highest form of free will, connected with my higher purpose and greatest talents. I want my territory to expand so that I can utilize my greatest talents and enjoy my life free and uninhibited by confusing and dumb-ass boundaries and limitations.

I crave to experience all the treasures and the good times of a long motorcycle ride, because every ride transforms me and brings me to a new space and undiscovered territory. The ride opens up all six senses and once again I am whole. Prior to technology and a highly materialized world, we had the use of the sixth sense, the inner knowing, that revered dialed-in nature that acknowledges a higher self and thus leads us to ultimate freedom because we use our free will in a positive and exhilarating manner. Intuition surely guides us.

Motorcycle riding restores the sixth sense and connects us with Mother Nature and Father Sky, all things divine that equal living and riding free. I experience an inner road song that harmonizes with my essential divine nature to become a journey woman symphony. All sixth senses are delivered into a supernaturally blessed sensitivity of heightened awareness and glowing insight.

Riders often equate the feeling of motorcycle riding as closest to flying. I agree. The power of the wind rushing through you, embracing your total being is testimony to the inner need to soar and reach beyond and mingle with destiny; realize our inner gifts and purpose. Simply be. Thats high on life, high from the ride and the wild makings of fond memories and far out fun. That giddy childlike laughter that wells up at the gun of the throttle flushes out all the darkness and gives way to clarity, the gentle nudge into an awareness never before known.

When territory expands and road blessings begin to occur, a new kind of road sign pops up on the voyage. A direct connection with the Creator through heightened senses gives subtle directions in life to the rider. We are revitalized and refreshed after the ride and we hope to carry our blessed territory expansive experiences into our everyday lives. Intuition becomes more keenly developed. Our oneness with nature, people, and the journey helps us to communicate our passion symbolically as we evolve and transform from the experiences of heeding the divine road signs in our lives during our motorcycle voyages.

Motorcycle riding is an ecstasy that expands our perception and understanding on so many levels and delivers us into a lifetime of camaraderie and good times while living and riding free.

Friends, may the ride set you free! Love & smiles, Sasha
