Running Diminishes Us

Rain,
And I stand…willing
Myself as the
Earth –
Grateful in receiving.

Gratefulness extends in all directions. Our steps are given to the earth in a pull beyond gravity - we are returning to the path of our creation - the physical dust of bodies again touching briefly on the ground. We are welcomed home. Our breath is gifted from the air - drawn from infinite distance and returned again with added life. We are reminded that the unseen sustains us. Running diminishes us - our sense of self is absorbed back into the fabric of life and being. We find ourselves in a constant of being received by something greater than ourselves alone. Running is what we give. Everything else is what's returned.

Peace,
