The Master's mind is like space.
~
We cling to nothing - every moment a new world explored within a
single step. With nothing to hold on to we are free to
explore the distance offered in stride and spirit.
Boundaries fall.
We are the witness to events -infinite space
removed from its unfolding.
The space alone is our response.

- We match our stride with the spaciousness of mind and nature - all things flow with grace and ease. Even as we struggle through the distance of our run we are at once surrendering concepts that bind us to suffering. The struggle itself becomes our embrace of letting go and the freedom found in release. We cling to nothing and yet remain open to the worlds provisions. We provide aid to all in need and comfort to those lost in their own internal battles - even if it's just a few kind words and caring glance. We accept what's offered in return. There is a gratefulness for every step that finds the earth. Everything is found here - in this moment - and our mind stretches in the wide expanse of our surroundings.
Peace,
Eric
