Bike, cycling, depression, Wheels

I was asked by a professor of psychiatry once if I ever experienced depression. I answered ‘not to the best of my knowledge/experience’.

He replied simply: ‘of course not. You move too much….’

I tell all people I meet but especially those battling depression, loss of meaning and similar states: MORE NON-VERBAL EXPERIENCES DAILY is what the doc prescribes and movement is the best medium.

All roads will eventually lead back to the unspoken thing(s)we corrupt with our words.The path there passes through the body, movement, stillness. It has long been understood by some spiritual paths, processes, methods, religions and various systems but knowing is not enough, cause that is achieved through the same problematic medium we wish to avoid.

You must EXPERIENCE – through the practicum.

Movement is immateriality

Richard Misrach, trek bike

History proved that stillness carries infinity. But i keep moving. I work on immateriality. Give up disputes and nonsense, pray in front of the clouds, unite, fall to shreds, exercise cruelly, give the language of forms to the clouds, captivating glossolalia. Not being able to say anything. I Work on immateriality.

Fernando Pessoa, specialized stumpjumper pro

“To maintain, in the shadows, that noble pride of individuality which consists in not insisting at all with life. Being, in the whirling of the worlds of the universe, like the floral dust that an unknown wind raises in the evening breeze, and the torpor of dusk lets it rest in a random place, indistinct among greater things. Be this with a sure knowledge, neither cheerful nor sad, grateful to the sun for its brilliance and to the stars for their remoteness. Don’t be more, don’t have more, don’t want more “Fernando Pessoa
