As I was listening to one of my favorite poets, William Joel of the Bronx, NY, I was reminded of his inspiring song, about our “2d Wind”. Lest we forget, many a race, fight, trek and journey would not be properly finished without the needed boost from the mysterious “2d wind”. Maybe even a few DIY projects, as well. As we break into the 2d year of Covid 19, this theme can take us further and farther than we ever might have imagined. With complications, distance, prohibitions, masks, hand sanitizer, and other limiting conditions of engagement, we will be challenged to call on, “the momentum to kick in”, and rise above the mental messes that we deal with everyday. Although we do “walk in the ring all alone”, we all have access to communities, teams and friends to support and carry us when are feeling a bit sluggish, and when we realize that these folks are there for us, “then that old 2d wind comes along” We are not alone on this journey. Remember to be thankful for those that prompt our “2d wind”, and say, “thanks” often. Peace my friends! Mike T
