This is how actions were done
by the ancient seekers of freedom;
follow their example: act,
surrendering the fruits of action.
(Bhagavad Gita 4:15)
~
Our steps are given wholly to the stride - leaving
nothing in the wake of their
becoming.
Surrendering to the Self - we run with pure abandon.
- Running is enough - it's not just motion, it is our arrival - and we find ourselves in the perfection of every step that gives of itself to bring us here. There is great faith to every step - a refusal to remain anchored to the ground and yet surrendering its flight once more. By this selfless action our stride is born and we too must let go of all save motion. In our refusal to cling to ground or sky we are free of laws that bind us to either - we belong solely to the Self and our stride become an expression of this freedom. This is the joy of running: the continuous grace of simply letting go.
Peace,
Eric
