The Tao of Long Distance - #36






 Let your workings remain a mystery.
Just show people the results.

Distance is the medium of our art. Every step a brushstroke and the
path we run the canvas. We create for no one but ourselves - and
yet the mystery of creation plays as a smile upon our
lips - evident for the world to see.

We run in a world within a world.


  • As artist we create the world we wish to live in - as runners we use our bodies as a medium joined with the world. We display our art as speed, or gentle stride. The earth shares its art as hills, and stones, trees and air. And so our art mingles with the earth's - we are co-creators in a grand design. Yet the truth of art must remain a mystery. To defend the nature of our run is to weaken it's resolve to be played out with honesty, purity and passion. Our only role is to create, to run, to let the smile of creation play as a mystery on our lips and keep people guessing as to what we're up too. Mystery inspires - and soon our steps will lead others to their grand design as well. Stay centered in our own steps - and the world responds with peace and grace. 







Peace,
Eric
