I truly enjoy taking the bus in this city. I find it to be a wonderful experience, full of the diversity of people and the freedom of not having to be concerned about traffic. I think the biggest barrier I had to riding the bus more was the uncertainty of the whole process. In actuality the bus and Max system in Portland is an awesome way to get around because you can get almost anywhere you want in a good amount of time.
I learned that when I just trusted my self to be where I needed to be on time and just relaxed and enjoyed, I connected with ease and my trips were quick and effortless.
One of my favorite things about the bus is “the Poetry in Motion®, a program that brings the work of local and national poets to transit vehicles. Now in its eighth year of the program, TriMet continues to partner with the non-profit arts organization Literary Arts, Inc. to make riding the bus and train a more pleasurable experience. Other sponsors include Lamar Advertising, the Poetry Society of America and Comcast.”
Ride the bus; it is a perfect opportunity to love one another!
My new favorite is Lyric 12, which states: I believe in myself slowly; it takes all the doubt I’ve got; it takes my wonder.
When you ride the bus, you can practice loving yourself by observing what you are being judgmental about in other people. Take that quality that you are having the negative thoughts about and see how they are alive in your life. What would you prefer to feel?
If you just rode the bus once a week, can you imagine how much better of a person could you be?
