I have always used my trips and my rides to try and calm the demons in my mind, to think over the questions and the quandaries that exist in my reasoning. I took my last rides as part of that continuing task. Aside from my falling from the bike, as documented earlier, I really didn’t do any demon killing. The absence was startling, and refreshing. After one of the most emotional times in my life, I’m feeling that it is over. My normal interests and passions are returning, hopefully without the annoying things that I’ve purged from my life.
I had a song go through my mind during my ride up to Minneapolis. While the song is directed at a person, my own take on it wasn’t pointing to another person. I generally don’t want to purge people from my life. The reference that I used was towards the person that I used to be. I think I’ve figured some things out in my life and had to change for my own sanity. I’m content with where I am. It's about time.

Sooner Or Later
Oh what a price we pay
For the things we say
And the closer I get to you
The further you move away
All the lies we tell
In the games we play
And the longer I think it over
The harder it is to stay
Sooner or later I'll be free
To leave the past behind
Sooner or later you're gonna be
The last thing on my mind
Little by little I'm finding out
The truth behind your eyes
Maybe if I don't show
I thought you might like to know
You're gonna be the last thing on my mind
You didn't want to know
I could have told you so
But the moment I think it's over
The further there is to go
Just a little word
Such an easy way
But the longer I think about it
The harder it is to say
Sooner or later I'll be free
To leave the past behind
Sooner or later you're gonna be
The last thing on my mind
Little by little I'm finding out
The truth behind your eyes
Maybe if I don't show
I thought you might like to know
You're gonna be the last thing on my mind
