We love to here from you

I think it was like a five-year celebration that they decided to Ride from St. Louis to Chicago. I think it was 390 miles. Wow. And it's pretty entertaining, that father-son dynamic. You know, the old, more experienced cyclist trying to tell the young buck something, and he doesn't want to listen. Wow, a person that has heart problems like that actually embarked on a challenge like that is absolutely, man, just like, I'm enlightened by that. They picked something that means something, and look, I went through all this, and I can do this. And what he's telling us is basically, you can do this, too. You can make some changes in your life and make your health better. We don't have to accept what's in front of us. You know, we can choose a different path. And he didn't ride that 390 miles overnight. He started out just getting one around the Block, got a little stronger, and started riding miles. But it was a gradual build-up of recovering his health. And so that should be a message to everybody. You know, we're at a point where we can eat as much as we want, and we can have a sedentary lifestyle, which is a very bad combination.

“Health is not merely the absence of illness. A truly healthy life is one of creativity—where we continue to challenge ourselves, create, and move forward, expanding our horizons for as long as we live.”

— The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 1 (Revised Edition), p. 248
