he learned to bike.

All of a sudden, in a moment, he figured it out. 

It wasn't the very first try -- he's been flirting with it for a few years.  But he was never really committed to figuring it out.  Today, he was committed, and the whole family was helping.  And he rocked it.  I only had to support him once at launch, and then he said "let go!  let go!"  And I did.  And he flew.  Within 20 minutes he was daring his brother to race and talking about doing tricks at the skateboard park (where he's witnessed bikers do tricks).  He experienced life with a whole new freedom.  It was amazing.

And inspiring.  What once seemed way too hard, was suddenly possible.  And then, it was not just possible, it was effortless.
