everyday beginning
By cyclistmike On February 27, 2015 A beginning can be the beginning. As light touches all beginnings, peacefully radiant. Shadows caress too, gently present. A wholesome embrace, is simple observation. Now. The most basic thing, can be the beginning. A beginning.
Freedom to Ride
By cyclistmike On February 23, 2015 A few weeks ago I went on a last minute trip from RVA to Gainesville FL. The planning was rushed, I didn’t have quite enough time to get it perfect, or to feel like it was perfect. Leaving Richmond, I felt a little at a loss. I decided to…
Touch in the Moment
By cyclistmike On February 14, 2015 How often are we touched, and what is the intention? Every good massage therapist should ask themselves this. How we are touched has a huge effect on how we touch others, even how we view others. As a professional, this is pretty important, as a person in general it’s just as…
Meditative Retreat
By cyclistmike On June 15, 2013 Co-incidence follows co-incidence. I suprised myself with my own decision to hike that AT and in turn was challenged in that decision by my own leg in continuing to hike. I was knocked out of the hike by my own decision to push too hard in the beginning without…

By cyclistmike On September 15, 2013 The Heart of Virginia Race was the heart of Virginia race. The volunteers I met for the event were great, very caring and thoughtful of the riders. I’ve never been a volunteer at a race myself, I realize today that I have lacked appreciation and understanding of a volunteers…
Initiative
By cyclistmike On October 13, 2013 Initiative is a decision. Often times we hem and haw over abundance of decisions. When we allow a plethora of options to confuse us it can be difficult to pick one ‘option’ and stick to it. This overload of options can make initiative taking seem difficult. Initiative is a…
Not mine
By cyclistmike On November 12, 2013 I would give you money, love, shelter, friends, food, comfort, security and compassion. I can wish all the world and make your happiness my own. I can want for nothing except for you. I can move mountains I can try and try and try. I will make you happy…
Games
By cyclistmike On July 11, 2014 There are so many ways of looking at the world is it so easy to paralyze ourselves through over thinking and analysis. I could say over analysis but I won’t. Sometimes any analysis is enough, to slow down our brilliant minds. The brilliance of the mind, is what an…
