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.

It is not knowledge or memory, from what I remember.
Because I have more to learn and less to forget, I cannot consider myself wise or even clever.
How dare I flatter myself.
I simply cannot know as much as the next person, certainly when it comes to personal perspective.
My imperfect insight wanes when it is most required. This diminished capacity of even my most brilliant thoughts cannot even serve as a reminder; how forgetful of me.
How can I say I own a lifetime of experience while I am still living and have so much more to endure.
I believe, and I say this with as much reservation as anticipation, there is so much more to my presence than even I can imagine.
It is as humbling as it is haunting, because who really knows what another day may bring.
One never learns things that were as important as yesterday.

Listen.
You are the only one
who hears the inner voice.
Sometimes it is a whisper,
occasionally a scream, at times
you struggle with all that it means.
What is it telling you?

Without thinking, worry, or
day-by-day distractions, by
permitting the mind to go
wherever it wanders,
wherever it goes,
you end up in the present.
You can find yourself in art
as easily as you can lose your self.
The dichotomy of discovery
requires little direction; you don’t
even have to pay attention.
Simply be.
