Hey hi hello
It’s Monday. I like Mondays.
On this particular Monday I spent taking things real slow. Two cups of coffee from bed, staring out the windows with mountains for views. Then the day had to start.
My car had to go in for a respray today. Some wear and tear over the years of adventuring in wild places. Finding people you trust to do these things in the world of mechanics or anything outside of our own skill set can take time. Just like life. It takes time to trust, to love, to understand, to see, to feel, to figure things out. I wish it didn’t. Especially at this point in my life.
I’ve wanted things to go slow and have forced them to be that way for a very long time. The longest time. But now I just want things to speed up because there is a place I want to get to, in life, that I have been holding off on but the more I want it, the further this island out at sea moves into the distance. The games life play and the lessons we seem to need to learn before the island says I’m here, I’ve been waiting.
I know, a lot of metaphorical gibberish.
Back to the tangible reality. I threw my gravel bicycle in the car and after drop-off I rode the slow thirty kilometer scenic route home. Maybe wanting to show life that I’m on board with whatever it wants to teach me in this slow lesson learning season of life.
It was hard. But beautiful. Also like life I guess.
To be honest. I’m not in a great place. But talking metaphorical gibberish, being able to get on a bicycle to ride home and share the visuals of what I experienced today, is a great place to be in if you will.
So here, views from my bicycle:
