another revolution completed, and, wow, i could not have done it alone
please pass the message on to people i missed or didn't have the address for (specifically mikey, gary-san, and extended famo)
i hope this note finds you in good health and high spirits,
and although i may be thousands of miles away
across oceans and continents,
valleys and mountains,
i keep you all close to my heart always,
keep on,
[s][a][m]
to those who helped me and those i have helped
to friends, peers, students
to bicycles, adventurers, vagrants, intellectuals
to story tellers, musicians, artists, architects and craftspeoples
to farmers, bakers, cooks
to sisters, brothers, aunts, cousins, uncles
to our mothers, extended mothers, and grand mothers
to our mother whose firm surface we ride and sweet fruits we eat
to our fathers who planted the seeds
to the great big sky, everything under and beyond
to the waters, moon and tide
to the winds, rains, sun and season
thank you for your patient guidance
thank you for the fruits of our labors
thank you
(שנה טובה to the members of the tribe, a happy, healthy and sweet new your to you)
