Update

I've really been slacking on the blog lately. It's nearly November! This summer was amazing! I ran in 3 races, rode a motorcycle, had my first solo catch, spent a week supporting a friend as she made a choice that changed everything, laughed, cried, kayaked in the fall colors, rode horses, lived. I'm equal parts excited and terrified about what the next coue months will hold. 

Ride

Zip up the jacket

Pull on the boots

Chin strap of helmet fastened securely 

The rumble as I take a seat and hold on

eyes closed tightly as we pull into traffic

Open your eyes I say to myself 

Feel and see what alive is

Trust and a bit of crazy rolled into one 

The wind through my hair 

The dopey smile plastered in my face. 

Sometimes it's not enough to mearly survive but to hold on tight and ride.
