Every tick of the clock, is one second less to achieve your dreams.
I know this mantra from failures… The endless agonizing recycling of what might have been… followed by a litany of rationalizations and self-deceptions as I struggle to reconcile the void between the person I want to be and the person I fear I am. From High Exposure, an enduring passion for...unforgiving places, by David Breashears.
To this end, I'm compelled to write about what it's like to wander amongst needled spires and house-sized boulders in the Superstition Mountains. Or, better, maybe just show photos of how to make the best out of a mishandled pandemic and a riotous transfer of power in the White House...
Peace and Love to all of you. And hang the fuck in there cause a new Captain is about to take the helm. #nomoreliesandchaos.
Mark, Bobbie, and our esteemed Gaia-Navigator Chis who, absent his skilled guidance, Bobbie and I would be totally lost.
Exactly like being there. Well sorta. Gonna look at this again when we get back home to the big screen from our drippy foggy beach.
ReplyDeleteThe bigger the screen the better!

How are you progressing from falling with the bike? Better? The Superstitions are prettier than I thought they would be. Someday, perhaps we'll go up. It's not that far, it's just the whole driving places thing at the moment.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your surroundings.
I just getting to the point where I can life my arm above shoulder level. Still can't sleep on that side yet. But, we rode 16 miles today, so it's all good. :). Just can[t crash on it again...
