The path always leads to kindness. Running is the template of our brokenness, of our urge to feel complete, of our desires and dreams both unfilled and realized. It's life in distance form. And our every step is that one choice given - to be kind in the face of what is now present. Kindness is the compassion shown as self care. It's the realization that our steps are shared by earth and that we are joined by breath and being to others as well. What we do matters. Who we are matters. Running only seems insular - in fact we are organisms dancing within a shared world. It's one great Being. Kindness counts. Maybe more than anything at all. So run strong. Run fast or slow. But allow each step to be a demonstration of our basic goodness - towards ourselves, each other and the world.
Peace,
Eric
