Travel
Posted on 09 June 2010
Lots of travel lately. Illinois, Wisonsin, St Louis, Wisconsin, etc. It seems to have kept me from a few things, including the blog. My travels take me to a lot of neat places around the midwest. I took this picture today in Prairie du Chien, WI which is just south of La Crosse. WI. The river valley from Prescott all the way down to Prairie is extremely beautiful. Lots of hills, lots of trees, lots of water, and a ton of eagles soaring about the sky. Today made me really appreciate my job and the people that I get to meet. I’m in an industry of passion. People are passionate about cycling first, and maybe not as passionate about owning their business second. Not to say that they run their business poorly, quite the opposite to be honest. They are just more passionate about cycling. My job also allows me to see a lot of great product. I can’t imagine ever being bored by product. There is always something new and shiny to see. Anyway, more about today and this picture. I could see this little structure from about a half mile away on a really neat street that filtered right down to the river. I just kept thinking in my mind, “A doorway to a window, a doorway to a window”. What does that tell me? Often with people you have to open a door to see the window to their soul. We all keep things close until we are ready to show people our beauty. Some keep those doors closed longer than others. I must admit that I rarely let people see me and get really uncomfortable talking about me. So I guess this speaks to me in an interesting way. I guess it is telling me to open up, let people see me, and see what comes of the experience. Easier to say than do when my first trigger is to lock the already closed doors. Hmm…I guess training my mind to react differently is a lot like training my legs to run faster. It hurts, it is hard, and you don’t always get immediate results, but keep working at it no matter what the barriers to entry may be.
