A climb of consciousness.

The Ohio Steps. Conquered again. This time stronger. Bottom to top without stop! To the clearing at Bellevue Park. And then the feeling. With music in headphones reaching crescendo, while gasping for breath, while drinking and spilling water on myself, a return. Adrenaline. Not just adrenaline of accomplishment. This was evolution flowing. A feeling of inflation. Of life. Of being wide awake.

After, straight to Thai Express. This time welcomed with smiles, as a returning friend. I felt like a traveler at an Oasis. I sat. We talked about my last visit to Thailand as they cooked Red Curry. and I ate it. All of it. A full meal. It was not just sustenance. It was soul replenishment.

After, a defiant march toward Mt. Auburn. Down and through Walker Street. And then the descent. Liberty Hill then Prospect Hill Steps. Cincinnati, providing the landscape for a man to walk his way to freedom. Thank you. Below is my tribute.
