There's
nothing larger than life. It is a magnificent millstone the size of the
sun under which everything falls. A bicycle can be useful if you’re
running away from its grind, but there’s nothing that can prevent it
form finally catching up. Despair equals abandonment, fear is folly – no
solution, no recipe for life, it can’t be dealt with, can’t be cured.
It’s a chronic condition, and you can laugh, cry, feel pain or pleasure,
only thing you never want is to stop. |
