The Tao of Long Distance - #41

The Tao is nowhere to be found.
Yet it nourishes and completes all things.

We run towards the mysterious. Even with a finish there is no

ending. Our stride offers questions and denies no answers - always

opening further in mind and miles. It's enough to

simply run and meet the mystery in the

spirit of paradox.

At once - every step closes a moment and gives birth to brand new worlds.

• Rely on the unseen. Many things will aid our steps through distance - water, fuel, shoes - yet it's the unseen that carries to our finishing steps. When all else ends there will always and only be the infinite. When we can relinquish one thing at a time - discarding comfort as well as discomfort - we reach the single point of freedom where there is nothing else to give away, nothing left to grasp and nowhere to turn but within. There's nothing left - yet everything is here for our existence and we exist for all things. When we reach this point, when the unseen pulses through the very ground of our being - we run. 

Peace,
