My Veselija

"It is very imprudent, it is tragic - but, ah, it is so beautiful! Bit by bit these poor people have given up everything else; but to this they cling with all the power of their souls- they can not give up the veselia! To do that would mean, not merely to be defeated, but to acknowledge defeat - and the difference between these two things is what keeps the world going. The veselia has come down to them from a far off time; and the meaning of it was that one might dwell within the cave and gaze upon shadows provided only that once in his lifetime he could break his chains, and feel his wings, and behold the sun;" -The Jungle, Upton Sinclair

Pedaling high up into mountain roads is my veselija.
