Holimont Bike Park again today. Perfect breeze cooling me off on the chairlift. Found a flow state unlike any other before or since. Dancing on the interface between traction and freefall.
I can’t quit this.

Thinking of getting a nice pizza from my favorite Pizza place – Romeo and Juliet’s.

May your Friday be excellent!

Fifty-One

All things arise from Tao.
They are nourished by Virtue.
They are formed from matter.
They are shaped by environment.
Thus the ten thousand things respect Tao and honor Virtue.
Respect of Tao and honor of Virtue are not demanded,
But they are in the nature of things.

Therefore all things arise from Tao.
By Virtue they are nourished,
Developed, cared for,
Sheltered, comforted,
Grown, and protected.
Creating without claiming,
Doing without taking credit,
Guiding without interfering.
This is Primal Virtue.
