letting go

One of the lessons of this Long Ride has been learning when to let go.
There are times when the harder I try to make a certain thing happen,
the more fervently I desire a particular outcome, the further out of
reach it gets. And then I finally give up and acknowledge that it just
ain't happening. I have to let go or I'll go mad. It's generally after
that point that things start to get interesting.

I intended, after reaching Clovis, to take a few days off to arrange a
trailer ride over the empty stretches and mountains. It never occurred
to me that there might be no trailer to be found.

It's now been 10 days and many searches and phone calls later.
Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Johnny and Sondra are back from Albuquerque, the weather is turning
and we need to leave NOW. I rode us into this dilemma, I'll have to
ride us out of it. And that's exactly what I'll be doing tomorrow.
Back to the open road...
