The Blessed Lord Said:
I will teach you about the state
called the eternal, the absolute,
which those who strive toward me enter
desireless, freed from attachments.
(Bhagavad Gita 8:11)
~
Distance is our deliverance - each step drawn to
know itself larger in the stride.
To those who follow - the Absolute.
- The paradox - running leads to stillness. There is a depth of quiet found holy and only those who are free from the grasp of thought may enter. Our steps lead by the rhythm of their nature- drawing us not only farther on the path but to the place where path and runner merge and a profound stillness pervades all things. Even in motion all is still, our steps a hush against the path and our heart beating as the quiet pulse of the world. We have reached the infinite - our stride unfolds in welcome. We've arrived.
Peace,
Eric
