Zen is not some kind of excitement…


… but concentration

on our usual everyday routine.

– Shunryu Suzuki

Daily Ride – On the back of the bike


Just a short video, but good footage of splitting lanes

Zen in its essence is the art of…


… seeing into the nature of one’s being,
and it points the way from bondage to freedom.
– D. I. Suzuki

Daily Ride – Paris motor taxi


Weaving through traffic in Paris – very impressive! Check out the folks who fly by at 1:54

Daily Ride – Goldwing, Cirque de Gavarnie / Pyrénées


Taking a Gold Wing through the Pyrenees… what amazing scenery… mountains, village, and nice weather, too. Then it’s off to the winding roads through the mountains, with rushing streams and winding roads. Fantastic mountain vistas.  Enjoy

 

Zen is a double-edged sword…


… killing words and thoughts,

 yet at the same time, giving them life.

Although beyond human intellect and philosophy,

Zen is their root and source.

– Masao Abe

Daily Ride – La moto-taxi sur Paris : relaxant !


I don’t understand what this gentleman is saying, but he still makes a compelling case for taking a moto taxi in Paris.

He also shows proper form in getting onto the motorcycle as a passenger.

I was not so skilled, when I climbed aboard, a year ago. I nearly made a mess of things… But this guy seems to be clear on what he’s doing.

If only my French were better – he seems to have a lot to say about this moto taxi business.

Daily Ride – AutoMoto, le JT de la Moto Paris


A lovely young French lady tells us (in French – so I can’t understand her) about moto taxis.

Good shots of motorcycles splitting lanes and cruising through traffic.

Daily Ride – manifestation moto taxi paris le 06/03/2011


Another moto taxi protest in Paris in 2011. Circling a monument I should probably know, flags flying, horns blaring… I tried to see what the flags said, but was unsuccessful.

Again, a beautiful day for a street protest!
