Freedom from the bounds of automobiles, freedom into the groove. Like a Sun Ra awakening for the day, breathing rhythmic melody, essential life. Crank revolving from deep within, taking me somewhere, transporting me there… </p> <p> Spin, rock. Push to the pedal power burning and yearning. Lean, roll. Click the cleat and listen to the beat, the sound. Hummin’ tire my brain’s a wire at seven o’clock I saddle my steed the ride gets me goin’ the sound like a birdsong whistlin’ and singin’ I float…Tillimook’s on fire, my wheels just roll. … Pullin’ the brakes, oboe screatchin’, somewhere a flute, maybe from the trees? Rolling, rhythmic. Thunder cloud of bass drum beating, lightning strikes as my feet turn circles, caught in infinity, electric charging, surging, glimmering, glowing. Pedal for the pleasure, for the wonder and the wandering. To get you there, to lead you where the sound reminds you your days are fleeting. You’d better stop to listen, but you’d better get moving as you stop to listen. Just grab your bike and hold on tight and ride on through this life, alright! </p> <p>  <img border="0" width="300" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/gonesh9/SJyXJjogkrI/AAAAAAAAAhE/FUEDi1P2q24/130_3054.jpg" height="400" /> </p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/portland" class="og_links">Portland Chapter</a></li> </ul></div> http://www.organicathlete.org/blog/1139#comments Event Report jazz Portland wandering wondering Portland Chapter Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:45:21 -0700 CaseyMcDonald 1139 at http://www.organicathlete.org
