Peace is in the moment - steps left behind and no anticipation for the next. Single steps. Yet often the mind flows in its own direction. Our singular steps become a stride of mental chatter. It's not the focus on the present alone that brings us peace - it's the return to the moment at hand that holds a peaceful promise. We can always return. Running is countless steps into the future - yet only the one we take now matters. Peace is found in patience and by kindness. Our practice is to forgive the wandering mind, to release steps that stray from thought, and return again to this one moment. As many times as needed. It's why we practice. It's why we run.
Peace,
Eric
