I had a strange dream the other night.
I was living somewhere in Asia, in a shack, along the coast. For some reason I had moved all my possessions there – everything from photographs to important documents. Yeah, I know, crazy! I would never do that.
This tsunami wave comes in and wipes out the entire coast line. My hut was on the beach so everything was taken back out to sea with it. My neighbor, who’s home was deep inside a cave was able to hold onto most of his stuff.
I was so upset to lose photographs, as they can never be replaced. Although, my camera was still with me, as I had it in a bag on me when the wave came in. Of course, it makes no sense that the wave only emptied out my home and not demolish the home.
When I went inside to see if anything had been left, I was crushed when I looked against the back wall and my Saga was gone. My panniers had been still on her, fully loaded. I was crushed. Absolutely crushed. I thought, “I’ll never be able to continue on….”
Sometimes I still get butterflies in my stomach when thinking about hopping back on the saddle and continuing. I question if it’s still necessary, and after knowing the dangers…do I have the balls to go back at it.
Yeah. I do…I’m a pacifist but I will kill those butterflies.
Welcome to the world of tsunami-related bicycle loss dreams.
PS Try looking in the main reading room of the National People’s Library in Vientiane, Laos, if there is such a place. That’s where my bike was swept away to in one of my bicycle-lost-in-a-tsunami dreams. (It turned out OK, though, they let me pitch my tent in there.)

You will have whatever is needed if you want to continue. It should be “I want to continue” not that “I have to” or “that I need too.” Trust your gut and your instincts – you have whatever it takes to pursue what you “WANT” to do.
