One who gives himself to the Tao
surely lives forever.

We give ourselves fully to the run. With this surrender comes a
merging - one body beating as the earth and the path we
run a vein that feeds the heart.
We are runners still - yet more - we are
particles in an unseen force
defined as motion.
We are that which endures forever.

- Every run is part of something greater than itself - it's the earth asking for our presence and each step sings a rhythm in reply. To give ourselves fully to the run - body, mind and soul is to re-enter into a sacred wholeness now lost in everyday life. We can't give away the baggage that we carry, we can only allow the miles to strip us bare of all but our essential self. Spiritually naked, free from the weight of all concerns we surrender to the run. Our presence is given and received. Now we run as the infinite...meeting the world in its embrace. The run itself is the deliverance to this world. We enter by our refusal to fight what is and simply accept one moment at a time. Nothing more. Distance itself will no the work. All we have to do - is run.
