See the world as your self.
Have faith in the way things are.
Love the world as your self;
then you can care for all things.

We run...not with hope but with faith in the
unfolding of what is now and the
continued perfection of all
things.
And in the stillness of this awareness - our motion
becomes the worlds caress. An offering of
self given with each step.
- One pure moment - stretched through the illusion of time and held through stride and distance. That's the entirety of every run. Everything else is a trick of the mind. There is no measurement of success and failure is nonexistent. There is just that one pure moment. As the mind wanders to areas that complicate our run and fills the body with weariness - gently return it to the presence of this moment. Remember the perfection of the run holds many things and we are witness to them all. Nourish the self and all things will be cared for.
Peace,
Eric
