In this video, the beautiful ambient tracks by Javier Suarez (Jahzzar) do magic for the words I have written. The poem deals with the beautiful surroundings in which I live and some of the emotions myself and my family experience while living here.
My workflow: when I do not lack the courage, i go outdoors and make a serious attempt to push myself to a new limit. i return to analyse the performance data from my ride, then i blog about it on steemit in the best possible way. A few months ago, I received a shock concerning my health. I am especially grateful to be on the return to cycling, given that there was a month in which I thought it was all over for me.
How do poetry and cycling merge for me?
Well, in order to do anything productively, I need a clear mind.
To have a clear mind, I need to exercise my body. I am often aware of my mind growing into a sedentary state along with my physical form.
On my better days, i experience scattered ideas which I can usually only connect into a coherent concept by jotting down lines of poetry. It is only after working the ideas into shorter lines which economically convey the notions, that I can see something form from it. I am always inspired by nature, so a bike ride is an awesome source of inspiration for me.
I hope you enjoy something in the video and the words along with it. I am indebted to the creator of the music, Jahrezz - I wish he is informed about the video I made here via a tweet or anything. I am also indebted to friends at #poetsunited whose activities and drive to build community, encourage me to focus more on writing. Last but not least, my creator and ultimate guide whose names are the most beautiful, the most merciful singularity and lord of all things known and unseen.
