- Distance doesn't matter - our stride itself is home. It's the peace found within this motion, calm and quiet that is important. This peaceful presence it the witness to time and distance. We carry it through life as the truth of our identity yet remain unaware of its reality. We have fooled ourselves into lives played out in shadows and illusions while the Witness hides in the light of who we really are. Running reveals the Witness - with enough miles we are stripped past the shadows and emerge within the light. And all the while our steps take us no farther than our very own breath and the beat of the heart against our chest. The truth is that near. We can view life through the serenity of the Witness. It takes only a slight shift of awareness - from questions asked to the observance of the silent presence behind the asking. With this shift we come home again and our stride never falters. We run. But distance doesn't matter.
Peace,
Eric
