Last night I was coming back out of Patte canyon after a night ride with some friends when tragedy struck. In the darkness, I hit a pothole or something big and sharp. My rear wheel fractured, although I did not know it at the time. I got a ride into town from a friend and gasped when I got the bike into the apartment where I could see the damage. The rim is fractured and bent beyond repair. Why is it a tragedy? The wheel is a Rolf 24 spoke and is very very expensive. I do not know if I can even replace the rim, thus unless I figure out a way to get a rear wheel, my mountain biking is over until I get a job.
Today it is obvious I should think about acceptance. A wonderful elixir, called acceptance! Life is full of things to accept. We have to accept feelings, needs, desires, choices, and current relationships. I could go on!
Resistance is my first reaction. I don not think that is the best way. Resistance will not move us forward, and it will not eliminate the undesirable. Even my resistance must be accepted, yea, I am talking total acceptance. That is what I am trying to do here. Starting with resistance all others will follow into the changing of the guard, that acceptance offers. It will bring peace and contentment, ho
The elixir, acceptance! The magic that makes our present circumstances good hopefully opening the door to growth. Let go let God, or what I like to say let go let my higher power – is related. Therefore, I guess I have a broken wheel and I may not be able to bike for a while. I guess I will have to just accept that and see what happens in the future. What else can I do?
