A relationship
I don’t want a relationship. Not some sodden thing, wet with pandering. Relationships these days are like dirty wet rags. Cold after use and stiff when dried out. It’s too rigid and tried out. There’s no way to do it right. Try all you want, but failure is going to come, especially if you try…
Whet the appetite
Now that we’ve spoken a little bit about how special we can become and flavorful we might be. We can get back to the chaos of the whole thing. You see we definitely aren’t enlightened, but even that isn’t such a certain thing. We are enlightened too, as we’ve just discussed, we are that but…
What is tea
Drinking tea Before we can drink the tea someone else makes with the level of appreciation that it takes to enjoy it thouroughly we have to learn how to drink and enjoy our own tea, or coffee for that matter. With this example of drinking someone else’s neurosis in, we first have to appreciate…
The Promise of Hunger

Adventure
By cyclistmike On May 26, 2013 I have a new adventure starting today. I am confident, the best way to start an adventure is to have lots of plans but no objective. I have lots of tools but I am not attached to using any of them. I haven’t checked the weather.. But I am…
Triathlon
By cyclistmike On May 26, 2013 I raced today with the intention of placing. I swam hard. I biked hard and I ran hard. The race was great. The sun was where it should be. The toughest part for me was the swim. I don’t like looking down at the darkness of the water, it…
