Feel Good Friday

weightlessness 

 
is to want

nothing

is to have

everything

is to hold 

a certainty 

you will 

outgrow

and forget 

you ever 

owned 

to want 

the weightlessness

of age 10 is

to want to crest

a hill on a bike 

alone for the 

first time on 

a road you 

don’t know

with nothing

but strong 

legs and 

fearlessness

— Drew Myron

The world is wracked and wrecked, frantic and full. It's Friday, let's finally, for a moment, set aside worry and slip into something more comfortable.

What's your Feel Good Friday?

I love this one, Drew! You captured the feeling perfectly. Years ago a group of friends and I rented bikes and road around San Juan Island. It totally felt like being 10 again. Weightless - in all the best ways. Thanks for sharing this one and reminding me of that time.

Hooray! ...for such weightlessness, and especially the women in my life who fearlessly lead the way for me over those crests.

At 68 and at a time in my ride when the world is too much with me—graves and gravity and gravitas—-oh, I understand that etymology now!—I long for that moment weightlessness again. Love this poem...

Missi --
Thanks so much for the feedback. I totally get where you are; I want to be 10 again --- with the weightlessness it offers. :)
