From that moment on，I myself to look him in the eye， I knew the aniswe or not．That trick has me a lot of trouble．”

Later, I parked my bike and lay down on a wooden . Just as I got , a man appeared in my vision. “It looks like it's going to rain,” he said. “I was just like you once,” the man continued. “One day, I went for a bike ride and lay down on a bench, it started to rain. People walking by me probably thought I was .” I listened, with the rain falling down. “Rain is like therapy （治疗）,” he said, “ you just lie there and let it fall on your face.”
“I'm taking a tai chi class, and there's this word, Kua, that means ‘Everything in the is connected.'” He began to sway （摇晃） a little. “When the shoulders move, the hips move. Everything is connected.”The rain fell , and I told the man I'd better get home.“Nice to meet you,” he said, and we called each other's bikes beautiful before forever.

The wind and icy summer rain beat my face my bent knees took turns being first and I my arms in the air, my balance holding strong. I yelled to no one . I'd never been more truly in the moment. Everything was connected.
