I think it might be about balance - do stuff v. sit with yourself. But, what do I know? Oh wait ...I do know something! Be freakin' careful on the damn fixie! God invented brakes for a reason!

Those who know nothing tend to know more than those who claim to know much! And yes, the bike is absolutely for flat, car-and-pedestrian light zones while I learn it all. It's going to be fun.... If I survive the early phases ahah

Nick, I am struck by your awareness even as you become 'distracted' by the machine! It seems to me this awareness of the distractive tugs that abound is vipassana off the cushion. Thank you for this piece. It's important. And I am honored to be included.

I'm more than happy to include you :) oftentimes your pieces help me see just how far into the chaos loop I've fallen, when I find myself incapable of staying with you as you recreate your lived experience with words. Vipassana off the cushion is the real practice, and as hard as it is, I'm doing my best to practice it properly <3
