The Way #60 - (And Ultra Running)




With no boundaries...all things
pass -
Un-opposed
Through the spacious nature of
the mind.

Ultra running is the act of finding boundaries and then through a lessening of self and will - becoming boundless. All things have borders and even as infinite energy gathers to their creation they must confine themselves to this existence. Otherwise they become something else - something more. For a tree to continue being a tree it must meet the energetic qualifications of "treeness". And so goes the boundaries of being a tree. Self and will are wonderful tools to push is to the every edge of boundaries - and there - like all things we are met by limitations. In letting go of self we give up all notions of who and what we are - there are no borders to contain us - indeed we will now surrender our "selfness" for a state of selfless motion that continues through all obstacles. Nothing can hold spirit. There is no need for will now - we are beyond the scope of this tool and it has served a noble purpose. It's now time to run pure with spirit.
