To runners - distance is but a stretch of imagination waiting for our stride. All things are possible. Every moment is an opportunity to explore inner and outer worlds until they blend seamless to our steps - one world of creative potentiality.

In a very real sense we are exploring aspects of ourselves with every run - it's simply a matter of bringing a new level of awareness to focus. Distance is a projection of our inner landscape - we fill it with either the pollution of negative self-talk or allow our natural interior silence to come forth and steady legs and mind. In either case it's a choice and that's where the importance of awareness shines - to know we have a choice. We have the ability to watch our thoughts and more importantly to notice the stillness between each thought. It's there. As we watch the thoughts pass through the mind (without judging content) we find ourselves in the curious position of being witness to their passing. And there we are - reality - the witness. From this vantage the world indeed becomes seamless and our steps simply the outer means of exploration. It's all one world. Waiting for our run...
Peace,
Eric
