Every run begins with layers. At the far end of distance our goal is laid bare in the essence of reality -only spirit exists. Our goal is met not in miles but by what we have discarded with each step. Running brings us to the realization of what we are not - we shed layers and labels and our false sense of identity. It's our ability to continue that helps us lose this sense of permanent self - we find nothing static in the course of our run. We are different runners every day, we change with each mile and even s single step brings us to a subtle lessening of our identity. The layers we once held as truth have been discarded. We are lighter. The weight of our identity is less. The goal - not so far away. In truth - running is the realization that layers are unnecessary. There is no real goal other then knowing this alone - only spirit exists.
Peace,
Eric
