The Master doesn't talk, he acts.

Our voice is expressed through
motion - we are heard by
earth and sun.
We are part of a holy communion of
steps and ground, breath and
air.
All things we have touched have stretched through
eternity to receive us.
And we are worthy of this devotion - giving back
again in the caress of our stride and kiss of
every step.
There is no need to talk.
Our voice is
heard.
Our voice is expressed through
motion - we are heard by
earth and sun.
We are part of a holy communion of
steps and ground, breath and
air.
All things we have touched have stretched through
eternity to receive us.
And we are worthy of this devotion - giving back
again in the caress of our stride and kiss of
every step.
There is no need to talk.
Our voice is
heard.
Running is our voice. It's our chosen expression of being. In distance a runner goes deep within themselves and every step becomes a prayer heard through earth and sky. There is no need to announce our intentions as motion alone is enough to meet our deepest needs. There is a silent nod given to fellow runners on the road and trail - a shared understanding that we're each engaged in a singular pursuit that joins us together to the whole of all beings. A silent voice - yet the world has heard.
Peace,
Eric
