The bridge, the train and the church

listen to yourself. listen to your fears. they have nothing to do with who you are. where you come from. they come from what could be. listen to yourself. you think of what could be as time goes by and takes away what you are now. now counts. it always did. you always knew. what you did, the mistakes that could take you where you don't want to be, that can't be changed. what will happen, what fate will turn that coin heads or tails, you can't predict.

there is only now. just the bridge, the train and the church. and you are in the midst of it all and your legs go up and down and your heart pumps in and out and your breath exhales and inhales and your eyes adjust. darkness is a friend and warms your soul. pedals are a friendly enemy to attract and push away, on and on. your challenge is now. what you were seconds ago does not count. where you will be months from now does not count.

focus on life. feel your instrument as it helps you climb. there IS a smile inside you and you know it. just set it free. don't even think about it. think heart, muscle, pedal and soul. if you see her say hello, she might be in Tangier. she might think i've forgotten her. go tell her it isn't so.

lights they pass you by. lights and people. people and their thoughts. they look at you and you feel proud as they feel puzzled. muscles will take you there. lungs will lead the way. heart will never fail. the soul will do the rest.

close your eyes, enjoy the ride. one ride. one way only. just once. everything is now. and now you are on track.
