it’s an iterative process

like watching paint dry

two coats of primer

two coats of paint

iterations

regurgitations

lamentations

ululations

lather 

rinse

repeat

repeat 

repeat

 

repeat

 

keep doing different things

keep expecting the same results

 

keep doing different things

keep expecting different results

 

keep doing the same things

keep expecting different results

 

keep doing the same things

keep expecting the same results

 

open to outcome       but

not attached to outcome



yeah right

you wish

as if

it’s all Hallmark Card

jibber jabber

 

East Bound in the bike lane one day. A bike lane I’ve ridden countless times before. So many times I subliminally know when the bumps are bumping, the cracks are cracking, I know what’s down there, because I’ve been there, done that. I post up out of the saddle and absorb the bumps right in time as they’re bumping. All muscle memory. No thought bandwidth used. No static at all. I’m pretty proud of my lizard brain. But just as I’m patting myself on the back the front wheel hits a chunk of wood, hits it hard, a chunk that’s not supposed to be there. I snap out of my stupor and the universe says, “don’t get too cocky bro, I’m the one telling you how it is” 



ONE WAY

or another
