About Me

Tampa, FL, United States
Recently a lot has happened in my previously uneventful life; I guess you could call it my "welcome years to adulthood," but none-the-less my eyes have been opened to the world in a new light. This is my view, my thoughts, my love.

The Feeling of Flying Free

Biking…  Ahh!

To feel the wind slide across my face like cool satin or lacquered lace…

To taste the refreshingly brackish droplets that sneak to the corners of my lips…

To recognize the impact that the slightest muscular adjustment – the excess tension in the shoulders that needs relaxation, the dull ache in the arms from supported the upper body, the slack of the abdominals tighten to curl the back just enough - makes in comfort and efficiency…

 To see just that open stretch of road, whether it’s the obscured windings about ever which way with surprises around every corner or the trustworthy, monotonous linear path full of expectation of the plain… 

It sends my mind a flutter with a desire to be free; a desire to clip into those pedals and speed past life and take in the world one frame at a time. Oftentimes it reminds me of hawks gliding with the wind-current, tweaking the smallest feathers to gently curve into a turn while they eye their sights on landscape searching.
