The Seven Attributes Of Running With Spirit - Grace (Part One)



Grace

~
Grace is given in the
distance of our
travels.

Every step is measured.

Grace is a mystery in its appearance - we court its presence with our
steps and length of runs. Yet in the end it is given and received
by our willingness to be open to each unfolding moment.
Distance holds a stretch of life for runners - experiencing the creation of
our stride from those first early steps, to painful miles where joy and
ease seem far. Be open without discernment.
Grace is near.
Accepting pain and pleasure as equal gifts a runner earns through
distance - we deny nothing.
Everything is noted.
Everything is loved.
Grace comes by tenderness - our ability to love on the
edge of all things.

Running takes us there.

Peace,
Eric
