All streams flow to the sea
because it is lower than they are.
Humility gives it its power.

~
Our stride meets the earth in a long caress - distance
given to our steps
desire.
We seek only to meet the path in the contours of
its giving. Surrendering ourselves in
order to receive.
We are asked to become of the earth again...our every step an answer yes.
- Don't fight the path - be it road or trail. Nature always wins and to fight is to separate ourselves from our source of inspiration and power. Accept that distance is a gift that allows us to empty ourselves - if only briefly - of thoughts of separation and to become of the earth again - free, playful and fearless in stride and spirit.
Peace,
Eric
