Removal Of Things

Spirit is what is left with the removal of
things.
To run with spirit we simply allow all concepts of
what running is to fall wayside.
We start with the run and pared down to
essential motion - spirit - we give
ourselves to breath, to steps striking earth and long
repeated. We give ourselves to the brush of air against
skin, and muscles taut and bones strong in
form and function.
We give ourselves further to sky and sun and
rain and all that air offers.
We give each thought to distance - what's before and
all that's after- only space that holds no
answers.
There are no questions -
only giving.
Until no trace of self
remains...and still
we run.
