Right Now, Now, Now
A short prose poem from the bike trail about climbing a long hill one pedal stroke, one now, at a time.
The following is part of my Mountain Biker Musings collection. I use a biking metaphor here but I think it applies to any endeavor. I hope you like it.
You’re slogging up a long hill Notice your heart pounding You’re alive Right now
Right now you’re on the hill The next now you’re still on the hill but a little farther All of the little nows add up to… Now
Keep plugging away up that hill Every position is right now Hey, you’re doing great right now! How about one more now? It’s not so hard to be there right now
One more pedal stroke and, well, look at that, it’s now! This isn’t so bad at all And before you know it, you’re now at the top of the hill Right now
