the dream

i have a dream that keeps playing through my head. not the kind of dream that will change the world, or even the kind of dream that will change you. not even the the kind that will change me, and maybe that’s why i have this dream

this is the dream i dream when i’m red-eyed and wide awake, mind wild and racing numb. the dream i dream when i’m on my knees sitting uncomfortably, and making an imprint of the carpet on my forehead and elbows. the crash after the high with the giant question “why”. and the answer that stings in the place you feel warm when you’re happy and cold when you’re sad.

the dream is simple: i’m running on rooftops, chasing a kid with a smirk on his face. i don’t catch him.

that part comes in a different dream. that’s the dream than could change me. maybe even you. maybe even the world.but i don’t know yet. i’m still running.

  • Push yourself physically to build strength
  • Always be careful and courteous to pedestrians, drivers, and other bikers
  • If you have nowhere to go, just start riding and don’t stop

That last reason has always been critical to me. Perhaps this is the reason that the other day, I got on Congress Avenue and just kept going South for an afternoon. This is what happenned:

Looking North on Congress Avenue

Good view, isn’t it? But you haven’t seen the half of it.
