The abbreviated version of Hello Sunday, was hardly discernible from the full version. The Blue Sapphire was splendorific this morning. Those two blue stars had a deeper brilliance this early morning. As if a star can have it’s own exclamation point.
Spinning as I have recounted has taken on a larger than life aspect to my own. I never in a million summers would have guessed that I would rediscover the passion I used to claim when I ran long distance. Those days however, were fraught with a distinct lack of symmetry and were abundant in an egocentric lifestyle that left wreckage at every turn. Those days are long gone but having entered back into the fray of extreme effort as spinning demands of me, I have a deeper appreciation of the lives I touch and a commitment to myself to keep my head right size, while I pare my body down to the athlete that lies within. I had let complacency overrun my existence but no longer. I have found that working to correct character defects was important but I needed to focus on my shortcomings as well.
I owe much to the instructors at Equinox who have helped point my compass back to magnetic north. My life had so much deviation, and I filled it with variation hoping that I would resemble the man I was created to be, whomever he was. I am still not sure what path I am on, but one foot in front of the other along with my daily pedal stroke is all I need be concerned with in the present moment.
What was that all about Jack? Just that stream of consciousness that seems to take over my fingers as I pound out these daily stories.
The Blue Sapphire has made Sunday much more meaningful in that I am motivated afterward to read and write with a deeper clarity due to the energy exchange I receive each time I get a strong dose of her infectious kineticism that seems to be more abundant than the stars I can count. As I took my after spin stroll I saw moving like a perpetual motion machine the Blue Sapphire leading her cardio group session. Someone asked me if I was going to do a double. AYKM? Well, maybe someday, just not today.
