Empty

Stamina above speed.  I used to ride to get faster.  Now, I simply get out regularly to be able to ride longer.  Into this void.  That’s one of the feelings that I appreciate most after long adventure rides.  The emptiness.  Losing my masks.  Getting my original face back.  Enabling me to see my true self again.  Removing all the garbage that had gotten in the way.  Just like life.  Our intention should be for it to end empty.  Nothing left.  No mind traffic.  No more wanting.  Simple nothingness.  Empty and aware.  Even more than how riding makes my body feel, what I love most is how it cleanses my mind.
