It’s good to be on the ground after 8 hours of turbulence. Japan was great and I met with my cycling friends and we explored Chiba Prefecture by bicycle. It was an adventure but one that was well worth the trouble and cold.
I don’t get to ride with those friends often and so when we do it’s fun and we have to go all out. I have to train more that’s for sure because they were ready. I had too big a crank but I made up for it when I could. The tunnel we sought were great and work the effort to find.
Family had brought me home and it also felt good and I could sense a new change in all of us but I had to write too. Sometimes you need a break and to rebuild bonds with those people that are the most close to you and it felt good.
Now that I’m home it’s like I have been traveling through time but I’m making the most of it. It’s all I can do. With this new mature is a new form of understanding that comes from surviving and living up to this point. I appreciate what I have though there is always more promising myself to make the most of the moment. If I don’t then that’s it. I should know now. We all should if we care. As always I want peace. I want any sort of brutality to end and obviously we have a ways to go.
