Where the body goes the mind will follow

Ride to Southbank, have a coffee.
Ride to The University of Queensland up Annerly Road.
Ride to the city along Coronation Drive.
Get a massage for half an hour.
Buy some weights for ten dollars.
The sun is shining and the sky is very blue.
It's beautiful and warm.
Ride to QUT at Gardens Point.
Use the pool.
Laps for 45 minutes.
Ride to Southbank.
Talk to old friends.
Run into more friends.
Ride to Paddington.
Run into more old friends.
Organise Kung-Fu on Wednesday after work.
Ride back to Southbank.
Eat lunch.
It is a perfect duck breast and a glass of french Pinot Noir.
Talk to another old friend.
Ride home to New Farm.
Do weights.
Talk to your cousin on the phone.
Have a shower.
Towel off.
Start to watch Boston Legal.
Get dressed.
Wait for family to arrive.
You have begun to find your center again.
Your feet feel the earth.
Your sense of balance stabilises.
You start to walk.
A character in a bad movie (that I love!) once said
that walking the path is different
to knowing the path.
I agree, simply walking is enough.
