Without concern for results,
perform the necessary action;
surrendering all attachments,
accomplish life's highest good.
(Bhagavad Gita 3:19)
~
Boundless - our stride is confined only by
steps not taken. There is freedom
found in letting go.
We run...seeking nothing beyond a single step and the
world opens to the grace of our stride.
- Running is the pleasure of spirit in motion. It is freedom displayed. The Self - our essential nature - is unconcerned with all comparisons. There is great fun in racing and yet deep joy is found only when we relinquish the need to compare ourselves with others, with past performances, and with goals attained or unattained. We can race in this deep joy, released from the fear of failure and the stress of success. Simply let go of all but the boundless nature of Self and stride - there is nothing this excludes. The world becomes our playground.
Peace,
Eric
