A single step contains the whole run. Distance is measured by the mind and our legs respond to the thoughts we hold. It's the acceptance of what is found within each moment that frees us from suffering. The legs will ache and we will still thirst and hunger - yet these conditions are the perfect expression of the miles and work we have put in. To wish otherwise is to invite suffering. The very next moment we may find a reserve of strength, hunger may abate and thirst satisfied. This too is perfection. Every step delivers the wonders of a new world - our stride contains a universe. We are simply explorers of what is - nothing more. Nothing else is needed.
Peace,
Eric
