All things end in the Tao
as rivers flow into the sea.

Running is our return home. It's the remembrance of our original
nature and everything that holds us from this
memory falls to the stride of
our arrival.
We are motion...coming back to the stillness of
our being before again setting forth
amidst the flow of time.
Running is the vehicle of our spirit.

- The nature of running is expressed in the duality of motion and stillness - and yet in distance the two give way to one. We are stillness given form in the temporary game of life. We seek to know ourselves through motion and distance provides the template for exploration. Duality ends as our steps delivers a rhythm danced around a quiet mind. Intricate and intimate and soon shattered by thought - yet for moments stretched within a stride - we are part of this One great song.
