Yesterday went from a bad day to a worse day…
I woke up feeling off. I knew why but I choose to ignore it all. One year ago, yesterday, my life changed completely. Sides were chosen by some, others rallied around and supported me through it all. It wasn’t a change I wanted, although, one year down the road, it was a change I needed.
The one thing that was consistent support, my Dragon Slayer. She rode me from my darkest days. I would throw a leg over when tears streamed down my face, the wind would blow them dry. When I thought my heart would never heal, her vibrations would hum through my body and I would feel better for those hours I rode long into the day.
Some nights, I would ride and the moon would call me. In California, it is against the law to ride without a helmet. I would sneak down a long, dark street and take my helmet off. I would open her up and race down the street. Pure Joy!!
I wish I had my Dragon Slayer today… It’s hard that she’s still broken. I miss her vibrations and I miss her swiftness. I have always loved to ride and after my Journey, my heart belongs on my Dragon Slayer.
Today my heart is heavy and sad. It was those days, that my Dragon Slayer was the best therapy!! I hear the roar of other’s pipes and my heart sings out. I have to stop what I’m doing and just watch those beauties go by.
I need to find someone who would be willing to allow me to join them on the back of their bike…. Another LONG weekend without my Dragon Slayer and my heart will surely dry up and turn to dust!!
Enjoy the day!! Today I will put quarters in all the expired meters!!
Happy Day!!
“Sides were chosen by some, others rallied around and supported me through it all.”
WOW, those words really struck home for me. I too, was amazed at “who” remained my friend when my ex and I divorced after 18 years together, and “who” turned their backs on me after years of friendship and brotherhood. I also had a really hard time dealing with the fact that “the other woman” (my “best friend”)was now the woman accepted by his family, and I was “out” despite the betrayal and what had been done to me.
And, I too, took solice and emotional healing in the saddle of my Harley, made many, many solo trips along the California coastline, the winding canyons roads of Malibu, and up into the beautiful mountains of Ojai and beyond. I too have dried tears of pain and deep emptiness with the winds and the humm of the engine…
I’ve known that feeling Linda, but your Dragon Slayer Beauty has got to be right before you get on her again. “I hear the roar of other’s pipes and my heart sings out” ~ I call it…the call of the wild! xo
So how did you choose the name ‘Dragon Slayer’ for your bike? She’s been off the road waaaaay too long!
🙁
Love you! So glad you are in my life.
