100 Miles for Alex Pretti: Day 4
I rode indoors on my crossbike, 25 miles a day, 4 days in a row. It was a lot for me, but I’m grateful to have been able to do it, and more inspired than ever by bicycles as joyful symbols of patriotism~ life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. ❤️🚲🇺🇸🚲🇺🇸🚲🇺🇸🚲🇺🇸🚲🇺🇸🚲🇺🇸🚲🇺🇸🚲🇺🇸❤️

Good morning. Today I am starting small. Like the Buddhist monks on the Walk for Peace asked of those who are following them, take out a piece of paper and write down, “today is going to be my peaceful day.” …Done.

Sending love and peace out into the universe. ❤️🕊️

I’m riding 100 miles for Alexi Pretti. Yesterday, Day 1, I rode 25 miles on my cross bike set up on an indoor trainer. Today I’ll put in another 25. While riding I practiced Tonglen breathing for Alex and Renee, their families and all of us living with the pain wrought by this regime. Ride with me.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Please stop and read this statement from Renee Good's wife.
josie.zone 🏳️‍⚧️ The Milkmaid of Human Kindness @josie.zone · Jan 9
Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

archive.is/ur35j
First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her. Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine, Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles, What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns. Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way. We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.
