In the tour de France, In the assault of Pyrenees the falls from cycle make abandon the race... In the life the falls from heart, the falls from words are more hurtful but you can't abandon the race, you change down for other routes.

That's right, we can't abandon the race or be a quitter. There's always going to be a few bumps in the road and we learn to get over them. It's a tricky maneauver but in the long run we win simply because we finished what we started. I wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoyed reading your poem this morning, islander. |

At first, I thought of nothing but a race and after reading on....it became much more clear that it had many meanings... Most wise.... Thank You |

Hi Yann, “the falls from heart, the falls from words are more hurtful” They do leave some bruises too; I still agree we cannot abandon the race. Enjoyed this one. Prasad |

Dear Yann, I appreciate very much your ability to observe and to analyze philosophically a simple fall from the bike. In life we have indeed no choice, when we fall it will hurt but we must continue to give our best. Love, Margherita |

I love your poems, and the unusual topics you write about - especially the nature ones and the philosophical ones, like this one. - Owl |
