pink

My new (to me) bicycle is pink. Bright pink. It looks like a potential prop for Legally Blonde III. *grin*

Sometimes it is important to do the unexpected just to see how you will react.
Sometimes you can discover whole new parts of yourself that way.
Sometimes it's fun.
Sometimes it's frightening.
Sometimes it's both.

Here's to summer adventuring, and keeping the lessons close to our hearts.
Here's to the arrival of fall.
Here's to the turning and turning of the year.
Here's to the patience and consistency of time.
Here's to love and hope and knowing they sustain us.
Here's to the unknown,
the unexpected,
and those things we know to be true.

Here's to community
here's to connection
and again,
here's to love.

heat

even these hot days
are thick with opportunity
how well do you know your
body
its stresses
tension points
sensations?
how well do you know your skin?
did you know what it is
to drip with sweat,
long cords of relief
tracing
snaking lines
on seamless
dunes,
the only motion in the
end
less
day?
