Running becomes spiritual when we simply realize that every moment of our lives is infused with spirit - running is just the opportunity to express our spirituality through motion. My goal with running has been to locate and then merge with the still point that remains untouched by motion, It's this center - the silent witness - where spirit - our true identity - resides. Distance brings me closer to this goal as does speed under the right circumstances. Yet speed can't be retained for long and distance gives hours of polishing spirit under the pressure of miles and the clock. With another 24 hour race fast approaching my only real goal it to come to this center wholly ready to receive what is offered - to run from a place where giving and receiving are one and to be this expression of non-duality - for however long the moment lasts.
Peace,
Eric
