A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change, something inside us sleeps, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken. Frank Herbert

the last joy ride

Dreams can sometimes be dashed when people let you down...

I try to assume the best in humanity and stay positive amidst worldly troubles. So, when I show up to where I last left my bike, twice-chained and right in front of the primary school I work at, and it's not there. . . . I struggle.

I struggle to find that goodness and hope that I have in humanity. I try not to blame the ¿¡$?! who stole it, try to hope that that person needed it more than me, and try to remember that this act is not a representation of all that exists in the world.

So, as I swallow my sadness and dashed dreams, I toast my cup of cheap red wine to the once-great bike that filled my last year with great rides in a great city. Cheers to you, bike. It was a joyous ride.

Oh dear! What to say, what to say... perhaps a quote. Yes! a quote! OK, gimme a moment...a quick google search...and...here! That´s good. Not perfect but...it captures the sentiment. And I´m fond of the sentiment. OK, here it is:

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.

OK, hope that makes you feel better. Love ya.
