The Yoga of Distance Running - Verse 2:1



The superior man is he
whose mind can control his senses;
with no attachment to results,
he engages in the yoga of action.
                            (Bhagavad Gita 3:7)


~

We are not swayed beyond the path - our stride is
given to motion yet unconcerned in
our arrival.

Our steps are sure in their direction.



  • Distance is a measurement of circumstances as well as miles. Our steps respond with a natural will of their own - sure and trusting of a deeper wisdom. There is a greater communication between the ground and our feet - a silent language between Self and stride. With a clear mind we enter this conversation as well. Not swayed by thought or impulse - we observe the shifts of fate unattached to outcome. We have faith in our stride - with no concern beyond the present step. Nothing else is needed. 
 
Peace,
Eric
