Go Katie Go!!!!!
Hey Rhiannon,
Thanks for your postcard from Niagara which arrived here in Scotland a few days ago. I am truly in awe of your sheer guts in setting out to conquer America on two wheels. Jack Kerouac needed an entire railroad and a fleet of trucks to make the same Odyssey. Hope you take plenty of time out to rest and recuperate – you are asking your body to put out a huge effort.
Look forward to hearing of your continuing progress, watch out for the bears when you reach the Rockies.
Here is a verse from Sy Khan’s great song
‘What you Do with What You’ve Got’
“It’s not just what you’re born with
It’s what you choose to bear
It’s not how big your share is
But how much you can share
And it’s not the fights you dreamed of
But those you really fought
It’s not what you’ve been given
It’s what you do with what you’ve got
Now what’s the good of two strong legs
If you only run away?
And what use is the finest voice
If you’ve nothing good to say?
And what good is strength and muscle
If you only push and shove?
And what’s the use of two good ears
If you can’t hear those you love?”
Which is my way of saying you are doing a lot with what you’ve been given.
Your Seattle fan club… is in awe of you both and….can’t wait until you cross the Mississippi. We know it’s still quite aways for you but you won’t seem so far away anymore. Can’t wait to see more pictures. Katie, love the Twitter updates. Take care.
Cheers, Gitte
