And They're Off!!

My motorcycle is faster than my hubby's

I usually ride at the end whether it's just us two or a group

Taking in the sights, the smells, the sounds

But once in a while I get antsy

Unsatisfied with the pace of things I roll on the throttle and take off

Leaving everyone behind; watching their tiny figures disappear in my mirrors

Feeling the rush of air as it beats across my chest

Twirling my hair into knots that beg to be conditioned once home

And feeling the thrill of being alive and being free

Eventually remembering I have no friggin clue where we're going

Reluctantly bringing the pace back down until they catch up 

And I resume my place in line behind the smirking bikers

~ ~

Ever wonder what the caged bird thinks day after day

As he looks through the bars and out the window

as he watches the other birds soar through the skies

Until that one day the cage door is left open

and in his excitement he flies and crashes into the window

laying there stunned wondering what happened

~ ~ ~

I entered the year of Passion in much the same way as above

It was like someone opened the cage door

And all these aspects of me flew, ran, rolled on the throttle

In. Different. Directions.

And that might not have been a problem

Except that 'we' are all still 'me' and connected 

Imagine if you will the bungee cord

that stretches gloriously in the thrill of the free fall

until it reaches maximum stretch and recoils...

Yup, my 'cord' reached maximum stretch

and all the aspects of 'me' were pulled back and slammed back into place

and I sat there stunned wondering what happened

A plan

I forgot that I needed a plan

In my restlessness

In my excitement

I forgot to have a teeny idea of where I was going

So my Physical, Spiritual, Creative pieces took off in different directions

and remembered they have no clue where they're going

So as I reign myself back in for a pow-wow...

I wish you a Happy New Year

~

I apologize for my absence

In my derailment I convinced myself nobody reads anyway

And forgot that My Quest is for me

to remember and learn from my quest

Silly girl
