All Souls Unitarian in D.C. also has a bike blessing ceremony. Not to get too theological, but I believe bicycles don't need to be blessed because bicycles are innately holy.

I remain amazed at how simple ceremonies can touch me. Even when they are a bit goofy. Rev. Tom made me tear up.

Sappy, I know, yet I most often feel religious when I'm outdoors in the company of the kids.

My "saints" are old friends and a relative or two. Wonder what my old cycling coach would say about finding himself in my personal pantheon. Probably something more salty than saintly.

Rocky Hillside

In the dark of the moon, in the flying snow, in the dead of winter,

war spreading, families dying, the world in danger,

I walk the rocky hillside, sowing clover.
