I'm nearly embarrassed that now when I bike, a song spins in my head that played for a Canadian insurance company tv commercial. Then dopey, me discovered it, it was from Vancouverite Sarah McLaughlin:

When it gets difficult on the bike, it's easier on me ..to relax just abit and have a song in my cycling head/heart that lifts me up and over and beyond ahead.

Just being on the bike is a miracle...not everyone can do it. I learned my lesson when I had a dizzy spell several years ago. When 10 years before returning to cycling at 31, I worked for several years in rehabiliation hospital for spinal cord injured patients.

It..is...a ....miracle...the sun shining as the wheels spin beneath you.

ORDINARY MIRACLE

It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift, they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up, and find a way
To give some of your own

Isn't it remarkable?
Like everytime a raindrop falls
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

The birds in winter have their fling
And always make it back by spring
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
'Cause we are all a part

Of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle

Do you want to see a miracle

It seems so exceptional
That things work out after all
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

The sun comes out and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

It's just another
Ordinary miracle today
