I hit an oil slick on a sharp downhill curve and my bike and I went careening across the road. My partner, who went down right behind me on the same slick on the same curve, fared worse: his helmet grew a deep crack and he lost his short-term memory for a while in the jostling. Both of us now sport road rash, bruises, scabs and divots along one side of our body.

It’s impressive you can be so philosophical after a rough spill, (or did this happen a while ago? My current condolences if it was more recent). You can bet I would be less reflective, more about cursing while nursing…
Still, that’s a beautiful insight that you share, and I can’t help but turn that prism around and look at myself through whatever facet shows my reflection.
Very nice writing…
