My Spiritual Path

Here's my spiritual path:
Run. Run simply, run loose and relaxed and free of expectation of anything other than motion. Run for no other reason than the love of running - everything else, all the great aspects of running - spiritual, health, mental - will be delivered from love.
Meditate. Meditate daily. Find the path to stillness that resonates within - there is no path to this stillness - stillness is the path. Sit, breathe, surrender. If prayer is speaking to God then meditation is listening - so simply listen. The breath, the heartbeat, the silence...has many answers.
Pray. Ask for what we wish for - be grateful for what we receive. There is no distant God and our voice (inner and outer) is our connection. God does not care how we pray - only that we commune with His (Her) presence within.
Be Grateful. We are blessed. Live with this recognition.
Forgive. There are no justified resentments - each one is a link that chains us to a reactive cycle that leaves no room for peace. Forgiveness is freedom. It takes practice and lessons come daily. Practice.

Peace,
Eric
