The Yoga of Distance Running - Verse 2:4



He has nothing to achieve by action,
nothing to gain by inaction,
nor does he depend on any
person outside himself.
                                                               (Bhagavad Gita 3:18)


~
Beyond purpose - there is a calling. Our stride is
our response. We run for the
sole pleasure of
running.

We are free in the Self of our expression.


  • There is no reason to run - and yet we do. Fitness can be gained by many means. We don't run for exercise. It's not physical, it's not mental - it's each of these seeking to know itself through motion. It's spirit, beckoned from stillness for the joy of its response. We explain this to no one - we simply share our delight. We are not seekers on the path - we are the path itself. Without seeking, our steps our here for their own pleasure.
 
Peace,
Eric
