I want to be epic
but come now...
I just want bragging rights
let's get down to things that make it real
honesty please.
I love the smell of forests
damp and tree-ey with the rain
I love when fog covers the tops of mountains
and the soft soft snow.
I love hiking in a blizzard
and getting over fear
sliding down gets easier
every single time.
I embrace the sun,
early in the mornings,
I love riding through the stars
inebriated biking bliss
I like to sleep on grass in the lazy afternoons.
I love to skate on ice
and feel the speed and wind.
I like the wandering feeling
of the meandering paintbrush in my hand.
If any of it is epic,
however will I know.
It's not always a 14er,
not always the black diamond
no the bumpy technical trail
just the trailblazing
to my very true self.
