~
We forgive all aspects of ourselves - from the body to thoughts that
serve no purpose other than to tie us to the past.
Forgiveness severs these ties and offers the freedom of the
present moment. We no longer run with the shadows of
yesterday nor wishful thoughts for tomorrow.
We are free to create within the
reality of motion.
This is who we are now - runners with no past save miles trained and the
beauty of our distance covered ingrained deeply to the soul.
Nothing remains unforgiven.
To forgive is to simply remember innocence - our own and the innocence of
others. It's the path for distance runners- miles stretched in
contemplation, thoughts of self reduced to the basic needs of our
travels. Running brings us to the still-point of being - the simplicity of
steps and breath and heart.
There is no room to justify resentments.
We have matched the spaciousness of the path with our
own inner nature.
It's a shared space with all of creation.
In this recognition - no one
else remains.
We are all forgiven.
Peace,
Eric
