Groningen - Here I am. Sitting on a table with only one board left. In the middle of the woods. Despite of the dustbins there is junk everywhere. Near the table, under the table. It doesn’t enter my mind. Birds twitter high up in the sky. In the trees. And somewhere on a hidden road traffic flows by with a near silent whooshing noise.
Sitting here. Breathing here. Just relaxing. Enjoying nature. I feel the wind blowing through the hairs on my hands. And with the early year’s sun I feel even more relaxed. Twitter. Twitter. Close by. Faraway. A plane flies somewhere. Twitter. Twitter. The birds respond to other twittering. A soft breeze strokes my face. A troubled looking face. Shoulders tensely high of stress and tension. My head filled.
Filled with plans. Filled with limitations. Filled with worries. Filled with questions. I stare in front of me. It helps to lower my shoulders. The pine trees, the sun on my face, the sands and grass below my feed. The wind flowing through the trees makes everything wave. A yawn. Just sitting here. I close my eyes. I forget about what is in my head. I dream of more of these moments of relaxation. The warmth of my jacket is striking. Nicely warm. With my eyes closed I sense so much more. A noise far away. A gust of wind from my rear left to my front right.
My feet are on the sand below the table. My calves feel different, as if energy is flowing through them. My reasoning is on hold. A fly lands on my left sleeve. And is gone as quick as it came. Here. Today. Today with sun. Today with a little breeze of wind. With a sun ray. Just now. Just now is what makes me smile. Just now is what life is about. Now is listening. Seeing. Tasting. Smelling. And feeling. It is so nice to live this moment. My shoulders relax. And a smile is on my face.
Ronse (Belgium) - There are days, and there are days, and there are two of these days in a row… Days on which everything turns into a challenge. Challenges you don’t want to have on that day, or actually not at all. And two of those days in a row is just too much to handle. I am broken. My legs hurt, my head feels like it is going to explode, my forehead feels stuffed with something that is common in winter, and las but least there is a little mental setback.
A lot can happen in two days as I found out. It all looked promising! Two days in Belgium to get some hills in on both the bike and run. An early morning swim was planned and at 10:00 I was in the car heading to Ronse. Easy to find! First exit after Gent and follow the signs… Google maps told me it was roughly a 4 hour ride and without traffice and my phone showing me the way that was a piece of cookie?! Wrong!
