I crashed my bike and broke my heel.

I was coming out of the parking lot of planet fitness and was crossing traffic. As I was turning left the rear tire lost traction, and as it regained traction it high sided the bike and bucked me off. I must have landed on my right ankle first and rolled on the ground. Here is what happened:

As you can see the Calcaneus (Heel bone) is literally ripped in half. When I landed, the tendon was so forced it pulled the bone apart. I am lucky to have been coming home from the gym. The problem now is that I have to fork out thousands for medical bills and bike repairs....
































UPDATE: After getting the bike back, I've realized what happened. There was no slick road and it wasn't driver error. What happened is that I used WD-40 to clean my chain and it got on the left side of my rear tire near the 3/4 area. At that point, the slip was unavoidable and I am lucky to have had it happen at such low speeds rather than 60-70 mph. Here are the pics I took of the damage.

Do what matters.

Sometimes Rock bottom is somewhere in the middle. 

Sometimes it takes clawing and fighting with all you have in your soul, to finally let go. Sometimes letting go is the beginning of guidance. 
The human existence is cruel, because humans are cruel... To themselves and to others. Everyone wants love, but so few are really willing to give love. Pure, honest, thoughtful, compassionate love. Everyone want's progress, but few take the first steps. Even fewer keep going.

But this isn't about taking a first step, or even continuing. This is me not saying what I really feel right now, layered under something I do feel. 

Love is all you need. If you can't speak with your heart there is no use in talking. Some of my greatest friends, are friends I've never met. But we share a common bond and know each other more deeply than most know themselves at all.
