No one runs alone. We run to meet the world on a singular level of personal experience. We are expanding the concept of self past the borders of the body. Running is now an intimate moment of steps merging with earth and our lips caressing air in a new breath of life. Our heart beats with the underlying pulse of all things - a sacred, subtle rhythm of infinite harmonies. One song.
Peace,

The question remains - how? How do we come to experience such intimate settings during a run? And the answer is that we are always in the midst of such experiences. Wonder is our natural state. We don't have to try to reach this state - we simply have to allow its presence to be known. The world is always eager to respond to our openness. We only need to actually open the doors to a keener perception. Running works a magic in this regard as do other acts of motion (and stillness) that lead us to a more contemplative awareness. So, really, there is no how - there's just running and being.
