Be like the Tao.
It can't be approached or withdrawn from,
benefited or harmed,
honored or brought into disgrace.
It gives itself up continually.
That is why it endures.

~
We run as the infinite - eternity reached as a single point of being. Nothing is
absent from our reach. Our stride a momentary expression of
forever.
In the stretch of the infinite - our steps continue.
- There is an endless source of energy that feeds spirit. From ground and sky, trees and rocks and birds, all give continuously of themselves and receive in equal terms. We are not absent from this source. Indeed we are of the source yet live and run without this knowledge. Fuel the body and feed the soul. Bless each step as a kiss we give away and ask for grace to gift us in return. To run as the infinite is to simply know we are more than just a body. We are spirit. We are endless. Our stride is meant to lead us to forever.
Peace,
Eric
