I have been neglecting my blog. Like a plant needs water, a blog needs words and I had run out of them. I scarcely know what to write or how to put my thoughts into order. Writing about my training and what I am doing now seems horribly trivial and not very interesting. I would like to get down to the molecular level of things and hear the whirring of atoms and particles and raw emotion. Could that be possible without going insane and having to learn how to live with all that charged noise in my head 24×7? I once had a button that I liked to wear: “Does the noise in my head bother you?” Who is insane: the listener to the noise, or the one who produces it? Besides, things are very complex these days. Uprisings and natural disasters are on the rise. How can we continue living as we have always done and not notice anything? What wisdom can I impart to my children that will give them solace? Does anyone know how to fix this mess? many questions, but only partial answers. Right now my solution is to swing my leg over my crossbar and pedal on, pedal on. Maybe I will come up with something the next time I’m out on my bike. Be compassionate and most of all, love yourself.
