gritty kitty

no better place to be
it's very curious

riding so hard into your thoughts that everything surrounding
you commingles with your
energy
you've found inside that place that seems to pulsate with the earth.
happiness, stress, courage, along with every other emotion is entangled,
driving like a drill behind your heart to cause an immediate response.
you think:

strange, what am i doing here on this bike?

your mind wanders from the present.
possibly the rapture of feeling is too much,
idle thoughts are easier to come by

fuck, why does that sara mclaughlin song keep coming up?
shit!

oh, yea. you know what you need to do. stay right here
over this root, up this, turn here,
there you go your body is in sync again.

just like meditation

beautiful thoughts. that's better. you're drawing upon the
inspiration of the strong people in your life...

they are
not afraid of embodying emotion while traversing a moment
confronting discomfort
letting go


you're lucky to have their strengths along for
the ride to keep you moving.

tough, ardent, honest

then you realize you've been speaking (to yourself)
simply organizing the many dimensions in the being
through
the echo of ingenuity

This is why I go and go and go just five more miles, ten more minutes, for that place. You nailed it.
