The Tao of Distance Running - #62





The Tao is the treasure -house,
the true nature,
the secret Source of everything.


~

Every step is our return - a coming home to the
essence of who we are.  We view distance in
its infinite potential to shed layers of the
false with all that's true spread
holy to our stride.

Every step....is our becoming.



Run with the confidence that the world supports us. It does. Yet we don't always know this - it seems to be a great secret that we are not removed from one thing in all the universe. We are connected to the sun and sky, the earth and stars. We can draw energy from our connection, we can remember our Source and accept the infinite as our nature. This means that we are unlimited, expansive, the infinite given form. Allow the changing of energy to express itself in its given moment - when we are tired don't offer resistance, which only further fuels fatigue. Simply be tired, recognize it as a sign to eat, drink, slow the pace and soak in the moment. It will pass. A dawn of energy is sure to follow. Our steps will quicken and miles will pass. Give thanks. Run. Allow the moment its perfection. The path is simple.


Peace,
Eric
