Snap into a turn

This blog is just going be about me releasing some stress.

I had just got off the phone with my coworkers in India. They're very nice people, and I bet they know more than I will ever do. Sometimes I get so involved in the process that I don't look around to enjoy the days and time that pass before me. But right now, I feel happy for some reason. I think of the things that I could do to make a difference in some people's lives.

I suddenly think of the sunny days that I was out on my bike. The feelings of being pinned into a turn. The adrenaline flow of twisting that throttle so hard, the earth seems to fly by underneath. The ride across the ridge as the sun glares in my helmet visor. The hang off from the seat of the bike as it makes a violent turn while avoiding running wide in a corner.

Sometimes things are happening so fast, you don't have enough time to react. These times are frightening and disturbing, but once your mind and body catches up to the speed, you realize that it is one of the best feeling ever. I am enjoying every minute of this. I wanted to do this. To ignore the risks and focus on some arbitrary end goal. I'm fixated, not on the turn, but the exit point. And everything else is just falling in line. The bike is going to where I am looking. Steering takes little effort, and rhythm takes precedent over process. Maybe something will blindside me, but chances are I will get through this okay. That is all that matters.

I am snapping life into a turn as if it was on a whim, and it feels great. In this environment, I am taking more and more risks, and finding their rewards.
