Red bicycle

As you probably noticed, I redecorated my site yesterday. I spent quite a while on it because it was difficult to translate my vision of what I wanted it to look like into the modified form blogger would allow. It’s not very easy to navigate between the design tabs and to then make the page look exactly right. But it’s a good change all the same.

Ever since I came up with the title of my blog (As the Clock Ticks), I envisioned a big wheel on a red bicycle. Yesterday I decided it was about time my page reflected this. When I think of time, I often think of the turning of a bicycle wheel. The spokes are like the seconds ticking away…these spokes are bringing you closer to your goals, and farther away from your past. (I suppose they could also be bringing you closer to bad things and away from good…). But either way, these wheels are taking you somewhere. The path is not always set, but the bicycle is your vehicle to take you wherever that somewhere is.

I also added the quote from Einstein “Life is like riding a bicycle; to keep your balance you must keep on moving” because it puts into words exactly what I imagine to be true. So we will continue to ride on the bicycle of life As the Clock Ticks…
