Jimmy Henry's Poetry Recital

This afternoon Jimmy Henry, a self-proclaimed poet, greeted us outside a grocery store in the small town of St. Mary, Montana. Jimmy had a bike rigged with a mil carton as a baggage rack and he described himself as a "harmless and Lazy" touring cyclist, who often "cheats" by hitch-hiking whenever possible.

After briefly swapping stories about our travels, Jimmy took advantage of a captive audience and recited poetry at length and with great fervor. We enjoyed the free entertainment and before parting our ways, Jimmy encouraged us, "to take chances to feel, NOT fear, what life has to offer."
