Albert Einstein once said that "the most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious" - and long distance running takes us to the very edge and often beyond the mysterious. There is no greater mystery than our own mind, our heart and our soul - material thoughts often cloud our ability and desire to look for a world full of mystery. Where our inner and outer worlds connect is a thin veil that parts in equally mysterious ways. Yet part it does and the nature of long distance running often aids in the parting. Distance running brings us to the point of surrender of will and ego- and spirit transcends in that moment - we look at the world (both inner and outer) with eyes reborn to the miraculous. The veil has parted. Every step now delivers us to the mysterious. It's a beautiful place.
Peace,
Eric
