a shift.

again:

something happened

this past friday.

a paradigm shift,

if you will.

my cartographer took me down a path

which i did not want to travel.

i held tight

and

went.

anyway.

waking today

knowing it would be a good day for a ride,

i went in search of a new poem for blue's dashboard. 

a favourite book fell open

and

there were old photos

and

memorabilia

i had not lay'd eyes upon for years.

so this little prayer

was my road dog

for this evening's ride.

oh happy day:

singing along with lissie.

memorizing something new.

got a lotta' lovin'.

feeling the strength building in my legs.

no bears in sight.
