Attached to neither ground nor air - we travel. Detachment is motion through the tangles of life. It's the secret of the Yogis. To detach is to identify with the spaciousness of our holy nature - to curve ourselves around the existence of every person and object that enters our life and yet allow each the freedom to maneuver. Running is simply the shift to this identity - from the solid grasp of ego's nature to the grace of letting go and Being. We meet out true selves through distance and mirror its ability to allow all things to pass unopposed. The yoga of distance running is to recognize ourselves in completion and know that even in passing nothing remains in separation - every mile is part of us and we too are joined as scenery and seer. With nothing to lose - we have nothing to hold. Run free.
Peace,
Eric
