mountain biking happens in a place deep inside of me whether i am on my bike or not. wheels rolling, chain turning, cranks spinning, moving moving moving. moving more than steel and aluminum or flesh and bone, moving something more deep inside of me.
breathe. inhale. smell. scents that comfort, excite and relax. all at the same time. flowers, leaves, wood, dirt, rain, sun, oil, grease, steel and rubber all have a scent, a place and a memory deep inside of me.
blink. squint. close. wince. look. eyes wide open, drinking in what surrounds you. sky blue, sun yellow, trees green, earth brown granite grey, shiny metal, mist white, droplets clear, moon full and sparkles in the sky are all the colours of this place and of something more deep inside of me.
listen. squeal, crunch, thud, rattle, clang, woot, holler, whoosh, trickle, babble, roar, groan, pants and gasps make up a cacaphony of sounds. ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump. noise? no. a symphony for my ears and a place deep inside of me.
flesh. bone. body. feel it ache. cut, scrape, bump, jarr, buck, bounce, swell, crack, break, sting, burn, nuasea, fatigue, light-headed, faintness, red ooze and an ego bruised but spirit most definitely intact. pain. a small price for the ache of desire deep inside of me.
brain. mind. emotion. up, down, happy, sad, euphoria, disappointment, elation, depression, encouragement, support, redemption, salvation, a quickening, vivacity, ecstacy, release, satisfaction and the fulfillment of something more deep inside of me.
all of these things, happening together, tell me i am alive.
all of these things, also alive, deep inside of me.
spirit. essence. muladhara. soul. something more, deep inside of me.
