2nd and 3rd gear

every journey has its process
the way things unfold before the journey
the necessity of thinking about the journey the
deep feeling of being comitted to a journey
the knowing that the journey is going to happen
the swirling in the  mind the attempt to be somewhat certain
that i have everything i need for the journey
the nagging awareness that maybe i have too much

one could think of these various modes
which indicate certain periods on the journey
one could refer to these as gears

on the way to compostela now i feel like
i am in 2nd gear i've left the driveway
and i'm getting ready to get going along a thoroughfare
but i'm not quite there yet

soon i will be on the move and i will make
some stops along the way
soon the speed with which i move will increase
and the distance will become manifest

my foot is on the clutch
i'm getting ready to shift gears.....

OK

here we go.....
