Bike Ride in the Moonlight
So I came back to the med school area at around 620pm today to get my bike...and felt that something was missing. Checked my handlebars and realized that shucks, someone had stolen my bike lights! It was also at 630pm and getting dark- one of the only days when i was going home after it got dark and was going to bike home alone (had social netball at 7pm - it usually gets dark at around 7pm). So I ended up having a friend help me tape my nokia e63 phone in my basket with the torchlight on so i could bike home without crashing into random things in the dark (I ended up holding the phone to light my way home because the bouncing about dislodged the phone from its taped position). Anyways, on the way back home on Oleander Road there are not that many streetlights (and the streetlights are super dim) and I actually got to see the full moon and a sky full of stars. There were no cars on the street and nobody in sight. It was so serene and calm and it's these moments that make you feel so small and insignificant (and how beautiful nature can be but learning more towards small and insignificant i'd say). And the full moon was surrounded by these thin wispy clouds and it was just super calming to be able to bike while looking up at the moon (not very safe of course) with the night breeze against you and I just spent some time reflecting on my thoughts on this bike ride home.
