Still Point Of Running

There is a still point in running - and you find it only through motion. Beneath the layers of thought and breath and sight and sound and farther still beyond even all that seems in motion - there is stillness. Sometimes we stumble upon this eternal witness to the movement of our lives - a complete surprise. Very few of us can enter at will. Long runs, really long runs will lead us to it in a circumference route. A grateful heart on a beautiful day will often spontaneously summon it. It's always present. Awareness is key. Acknowledge its existence, be grateful to everything present and simply let go. Enjoy the run. You will find it.

Peace,
Eric
