-Amber Valletta
What do you see?
What do you feel?
What do you believe?
This environment, this day,
your choice, your way.
Surround yourself with
simple comforts and
allow your mood
to improve.

think about
how you treat one another
and another and another
truly
think about it
peace will not happen on its own
limited time and too many lives
will not prove otherwise
we still have not learned
nothing has been earned
crisis after crisis
world-wide localized
realize
we are not blind to
injustice and ignorance
or political will
world peace starts with you
and you and you
and you
think it through
let’s make today more than a why
decide right now
it is worth a try
we are not damned if we do
but damnation continues
if we don’t

Moments when you ponder,
allow the psyche to wander,
another thought
will cross the time.
A question or fear,
however sublime, may
takes its place
among your earthly concerns.
Scant stanza of a poem you
might have heard in the confusion
of another day, sound enough
to consider anyway.
Decisions are formed with
subconscious intent.
What it means may not be
what was meant.

There are flaws in your façade, the image and appearance you have spent a lifetime creating: your perfect offering (as invigoratingly imperfect as it may be).
What is holding back the light? What is stopping you from experiencing life the way you want it?
Cracks are not superficial, many times they run deep. What you see as blemishes and faults, mistakes even, prohibit you from reaching the potential you feel you have (and it varies day-to-day).
How open are you to the change that may be necessary? What you do is fully up to you; personal choice has its own voice.
Allow that light in, let it spread.
You might feel an enduring difference. If nothing else, you will feel even the slightest shift in your being.

Athletic aesthetic meets trustworthy
tradition in a truly elegant blend of
form and function.
Poetry in motion, even stationary,
any bicycle is a thing of wonder.
Historically, so little has changed.
The power of the person, two wheels
with a chain, time and again.
Compelling simplicity. Ageless grace.
More than transportation; more than
a method of getting from there to here.
Miles of smiles, the ride of your life
found on a bike.
