A local family-run brake shop where I live has a readerboard with weekly aphorisms, some of which are quite good. My favorite: “Sometimes you just have to do it afraid.” Larissa, I loved this. Although bone density issues in my case would make taking up riding at this stage imprudent, I have found other scary things that are good for me, and you inspire me to persevere. I have read your writing elsewhere—a personal account of different terror and trauma—and found it breathtaking. I admire your writing, and your courage, very much. Thank you for sharing your insights with us.
