the utter peace of being in the moment
it can happen in all kinds of disciplines and areas of life - sport, aesthetic, sensory
these are the moments i live for, coming to the peak of a hill, overtaking traffic or just my legs burning after a hard push
in fencing i can find a beautiful stillness mid bout, time turns to plastic, despite the speed of what is going on, the noise, the distraction it feels like i am in the Matrix, everything slows down, different pathways and options are opening up and there is a beautiful sense of relaxation despite the fact I am tense, moving about quickly and attacking and defending
Skully and I have a 2 man club of people who shout "i fucking love cycling" as we bomb around town
