Whoever thought they would see me on two wheels? There was a time, a long time ago in the BMX era when I wanted a bike but I was told I would get one if I passed class 7. That wasn’t difficult except when I did pass …. I got introduced to the world of disappointment and years later I was declaring how I can’t see myself on two wheels … blah blah blah!

In December, I decided to get myself a scooter for my birthday. It was rather an impulsive buy, which I wouldn’t have otherwise made had I never met Charles. He shared with me his story and also introduced me to the world of water-walking. In this world, one easily gets inspired to try something new – especially if that something enables one to leave the boat.

In my case, leaving the boat was to leave my past where it belongs and a scooter was symbolic of that move. After getting the scooter, I fell really reeeeeeeealy hard …. and doubt and fear reigned in my life. Like a believer I am, after my fall and many others that followed, I got back on the saddle!

Now, I am loving being on two wheels although I still feel a lit bit vulnerable…. In the future, I actually see myself getting one of those seriously powerful motorcycles and enjoying the thundering between my thighs with each ride. And of course, the gentle caress of the wind 😉 !
