Sheila Packa's poem, "Not Forgotten," recently posted on May 18 on The Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keillor took me back to summer days of wobbly bike riding that turned into the thrill of flying on two wheels. I love the way Packa captures the father-daughter dynamic with such vivid imagery.
Jim and I both become kids once again as we ride our bikes on trails around town and explore trails around Minnesota. Last summer we biked the Lake Wobegone Trail up by Collegeville, and we highly recommend it. While bike riding, I get a good workout as ideas for my writing "cook." I often gain fresh perspectives for a particular poem or essay from the passing landscapes.
Happy trails to you, and all the best with your summer writing.
