The Master's power is like this.
He lets all things come and go
effortlessly, without desire.
He never expects results;
thus he is never disappointed.

Running is an act upon itself - a holy art of creation within the confines of
our stride. A finish line is but a pause, a trails end is no more than a
beckoning from the unknown. We seek only to match our
steps with the spaciousness of the mind.
Allow all things to pass unopposed in mind and stride.
Run free.
Run unattached to outcome. Plan, put in the hard work for any effort needed. Be mindful of choices that may affect outcomes. And then let go. Surrender to the run itself, to motion and the wisdom of the body. Trust in the training and preparation we have made. Run with the faith that the earth and sky supports us. They do. With this faith - we may run forever.
Peace,
Eric
