The simplest pattern is the clearest.

~
Our steps kiss the ground in pure delight - a mantra
found in a stride of devotion.
Our prayer is simplicity.
Earth, sky and the joy we offer
in between.
A single step - repeated - and so we find our way.
Avoid complications. Running is the simple act of devotion - one step - repeated. It's the mind that brings complications. Keep simplicity as the one and only goal. What's the plan? Take the single step that delivers motion. There is nothing complicated about one step. When is doubt choose the path or option that allows us to stick with our plan. The question will always be does this complicate or simplify. The answer will always be clearest in our view.
Peace,
Eric
