"Aum

Bhuh Bhuvah Svah

Tat Savitur Varenyam

Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi

Dhiyo Yo nah Prachodayat"

~ The Rig Veda (10:16:3)

 

 


"Intentions are the key to the
nature of conscious beings and to all of their activities. Every activity
begins with an intention, and every intention has an "objective": the
object, event, or state of affairs that the person is trying to bring
about with that intention. Painting a picture begins with the intention
to paint a picture. The objective of that intention is the picture.
That intention starts an activity cycle — that of painting the
picture — and a period of time — the time during which the picture is
being painted. Furthermore, in order to fulfill that intention, the person
must assume an identity — that of a painter. And this identity is
composed of and supported by a number of skills, tools, and ideas, all of
which are means of creating a picture. But the ruling element is the
intention.

05 June 2006 – 6:30am – Day Zero
– The Day of Registration

 


Good Morning,


As I sit here (in the SF Mission District)
watching the sun rise, I begin to smile.


First, I must thank the (approximate) 2,000
cyclist, 400 crewmembers, Cheerleaders, Parents, Friends, Family,

Stephan Cadby,

Susan Parish,

Ben Armstrong,

Maya Angelou, Sports Basement – SF,

Ginger,

The Chicken Lady, and

my number one fan.  Without you
all, this event wouldn’t be the same. . . . … ..

 

 


Secondly, I must thank my personal sponsors:

Bella Cucina Catering,

Soulcraft Bikes,

Fat Tire Beer,

Continetal Catering,

the Senior Teachers of the Ivengar Yoga Institute,
KRD – Kyle Rich Bike Frames,

Satori Yoga Studio, James
Howell Studio, Jason Collard,

Michael Stokes, "Team Brazil,"

the Atlas Cafe, "The Boys of Mike’s
Bikes – Sausalito," and my friends and family . . . without your nickels and
dimes, I’d still be out there fundraising. .. . .

 


At the age of 44, I am so thankful to have the
ability to participate in my 9th AIDS Ride.  And as Day 1 approaches, I
ponder over new challenges that may arise. 


I’m so happy that I could cry. 


And … . . ., I’m a bit scared. 


Yet, regardless of what occurs during this seven
day journey, I will do my best to stay strong, live long, keep my wit, have fun,
and stay focused on "my intentions."

 


With each journey comes a new experience. 


This year, I will be traveling the journey with

Shivie Cook,

"Norwegian
Cruisliner" . Thomas Hellivig,

"Daddy" – 
Chick Pipher,

"My Bro" – Nate
