Riding The Bullet

all thru life we get the chance to ride THE BULLET....it's exciting....each time we go we learn something new about the twists and turns that lie before us

in the beginning we buy our own ticket...

who doesn't want to experience that kind of ride....the heighten sense of urgency...the speed...the terror....the "heart in your throat" stopping moments when at the peak of the feelings you are dashed down into the oblivion..... to lose your bearings....hang suspended....then be lifted madly up again.......

will you ever recover from that thrill..... ???

which way is up....

which way is down

WHO THE HELL CARES !!!!!!

HOLD TIGHT....THIS IS THE TRUE EXPERIENCE OF THE BULLET...HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE !!!

as we get older...THE BULLET experience fades from our minds....we become jaded to it...it's a thrill we know now...no discoveries there anymore.........

OR IS IT..??????

now when a different someone offers us a ticket...we shrug our shoulders an may put that person off....

"NAH....I DON'T THINK SO....RIDING THE BULLET IS PASSEE....MAN I KNOW ALL IT'S MOVES...EVERY TWIST AND TURN....... EVERY UP AND DOWN....BEEN THERE DONE THAT"....WE SAY

so when that new ticket holder comes by and looks longingly into our eyes and suggest maybe we should re-check it out and take another ride we are hesitant.....

"lets" he says "uuuuummmmmm you never know it could be completely different experience with me"

he may move a little closer...sweetly try to put the ticket in your pocket....walk slowly and casually down the boardwalk with you....smile..... flirt.....tease you ...make you laugh....

if your frighten...he will ease your fears...he will intrigue you with a NEW view..... interest you with lyricism ....cajol you with wit.......

and don't you ever think that the ticket holder isn't a hitchhiker in the Universe....one whose's come to teach you that you should never turn a BULLET ticket down......

ahhhhhhh yes....to turn down a ticket on THE BULLET is to miss a chance to learn important new lessons.......the ticket holder and the UNIVERSE has to teach....

for each time you ride THE BULLET...you never re-create those old rides... OH NO....each one is a new ride....and each new ride.....predisposes you to an even BETTER ride should you be offered that lovely ticket again.....

i have been lucky enough to be offered a ticket to ride THE BULLET...

and so the ticketholder....the UNIVERSE and i..... are off on that magical ride of new delites.... different twist and turns....that brings new understandings and thrills.....

if you wait here at the bottom...

YOU MAY BE OFFERED A TICKET TOO

CONSIDER IT A GIFT...FROM THE UNIVERSE .....AND BE SURE TO TAKE THE RIDE........
