Nothing like cruisin’ through nature on a sunny day. This piece was written in honor of my son’s 35th birthday and his deep affection for all things mountain-bike related.

Breathe in, Breathe out
My perspective, my world seems to expand and contract.
minute by minute with each new breath.
Breath in: I see pebbles and grains of sand before me.
Breathe out: The shoreline extends in both directions along the horizon.
Breathe in: I ache with loneliness.
Breathe out: I am joyful in the beauty surrounding me.
Breathe in: I miss you so…
Breathe out: My arms reach across the waters, waiting for your embrace
Stones piled,
Imbued with knowing hues
Balancing,
Appearing precarious
But courageous towards the wind.
Toppling could happen,
Destroying my direction.
(I would feel so lost without you)
Trust in their steadfastness
(Afterall, they’ve been there all summer!)
In English we say:
“I play the piano”
While in Spanish it goes:
“Yo toco el piano”…I touch the piano.
I love Spanish for its sensuosity, its nuance, its understanding of the underlying emotion behind each word.
Do I play the piano because it touches me??
Absolutely!!
My daily momentum to play the piano
lies in it’s anticipatory touch to my soul.
Do you feel it too?
Let me play for you so we can touch souls together.
…from my door to yours
