It's raining. It has been raining all day. I've been in the hot tub twice today letting the rain fall on my head and contemplating the big ride. I've just spent a good bit of time checking out a wonderfully inspiring website pathlesspedaled.com and I feel such an incredible desire to get on my bike right now and just ride.
How easy and how hard it is to ride a bike this time of year. Sometimes I just want to throw in the towel and give it all up. Give up work, give up the house, give up all my things, the studio, everything and just ride. If only, I think, if only. Alas, the rain is drumming on the porch, it's sounding like the hiss of a steam iron on full blast. Or maybe it's some crazy tribal rhythm telling me it's time to go to bed. Whatever it is, I think it has affected the way I'm thinking tonight and leaves me melancholy, wishing for a chance to start over, to try again, to take the other path.
I'll leave you with just the wish to have an open heart and an open mind.
Until we ride again, and it stops raining, Ciao!
