Every being in the universe
is an expression of the Tao.
is an expression of the Tao.

Our every stride is a brushstroke against the earths canvas. Running is the
art of motion expressed in form. We are at once creators and
creation, a master artist and the masterpiece. And yet each
step is a work in progress - we run as a continuous
expression of being.
The infinite is our conclusion.
- Run relaxed. As an expression of the Tao we are in accord with perfection. There is no wrong in our steps. Only thoughts of misalignment. Relax in the knowledge that we are running with and not against the earth, the sky, the sun and breeze. Everything supports us. A relaxed mind realigns our thoughts to match the Tao. We run with perfection. We run as perfection. What seems a misstep is but a judgment we have placed upon ourselves. How can we judge a moment against the backdrop of the infinite? Judgment disappears when we relax and allow the Tao to be expressed through our steps and stride. What seems a mishap is only a unique stroke in the masterpiece of an endless run.
Peace,
Eric
