Searching for Alternative

2cycletouring
Since that period, when the idea of ​bicycle journey around the world was born, decades have passed. Torn between great expectations and apathy we are living our everyday life in envy, to those who dare to live their dreams. Often, there has been a fear in our minds from the greatness of those plans. Slowly reaching that point of no return, which only the highest force of destiny can stop, from realizing it. Most of our thoughts and skills in this period, is focusing on finding ways and means to realize that ideal. Are  these common life dreams of an ordinary man?


So much to do. 

If only I had time, if only I had time. 
Dream to pursue. If I only had time, they'd be mine.
John Rowles
We have been put at the disposal to rich and fertile life. Inhaling of this world in plenty! Becoming aware of precious time and inevitable victory of tomorrow. We, the forgotten birds, must convincingly follow this quest of search. If there is yearning, there must be a solution! The possibility for diversity and change of everything that is gray and vague. Move yourself outside, stop circulating around in your mind! Search for answers and experience more! We wouldn't like it, if we would state, at the end of our days, that we just dwelled boringly, but rather living fully.

What kind of life is this, in which we are afraid to live in and prefer to live in the stories of others.  Our world  has so much to offer! The feeling of happiness or freedom! The the satisfaction of desires  or discovering true love!Inevitable finitude and death, or full realization of the meaning of life!
Courageously seek or abandon new beliefs? Belonging to this tribe more than a nation, it is the suffocating, boring story. But is the solution in searching? Is not the greatest freedom in duty that you choose for yourself? And maximum slavery in freedom which is donated by others?  Ignorance is the greatest sin of me - the ordinary man - and solution I seek, lays in experience.  Faith is good, but just not enough. Words age good, but don't teach me nothing! True freedom is, to believe in all that is and all what will ever be. Is something we follow  a sign of good  faith and freedom? Or faith and freedom really means to letting go and just be, with  an open heart?In order to posses true knowledge, I am yearning for my own, personal experience. Believing that the only solution to the imaginary ideologies, is the Self-Aware experience, as a true guarantee, that reveals the world in all his ambivalent unity.
Though I am aware that I may be redeem, but not cursed, either. I believe (believe!) that I will not perish somewhere in the unaccomplished as an ordinary man
We thus we go; I go, you go, one sooner, others later,  and at the end everyone else ... to the other side ...

What is alternative?(quoted from the dictionary)
  1. a choice limited to one of two or more possibilities, as of things, propositions, or courses of action, the selection of which precludes any other possibility: You have the alternative of  cycling around the world or sitting at home.
  2. one of the things, propositions, or courses of action that can be chosen: The alternative to cycling around the world or sitting at home.
  3. a possible or remaining course or choice: There was no alternative but to cycling around the world.
  4. affording a choice of two or more things, propositions, or courses of action.
  5. one of two things, propositions, or courses,  mutually exclusive so that if one is chosen the other must be rejected: The alternative possibilities are indifference or action.
  6. employing or following nontraditional or unconventional ideas, methods, etc.; existing outside the establishment: an alternative of petty bourgeoisie or alternative lifestyles.
  7. Logic of a proposition, asserting two or more choices, at least one of which is true.[/learn_more]

Bicycle traveler’s Quest

Despite all impressions, it is a journey to yourself ! To encounter and identify with the omnipresent pulse of Life.
The experience and especially identification with the world through direct experience.
It offers us the answer to that inner yearning, looking primarily conclusion of peace with himself.
