We are responsive - supple in thought and action. The world is as offered and our addition is acceptance. This is original mind. And yet we still affect change. By refusing to grasp what ebbs and hoard what flows we are joined in union with all things. The subtle aspect of our nature - the essential I Am of who we are - is merged to the world in its passage. Our self is now essential and the world shines with our brightness.

To be a responsive runner means to accept the earth in all conditions and merge our steps against the ground. We listen to the will of nature and allow ourselves to be a voice in the chorus of Her song. Our body speaks to us of thirst and hunger and it's joy and struggle. We are tender in response. The mind offers thought and will and we give our allowance for their passage - they serve the greater good and then they're gone. There is no need to cling. And so comes freedom.
Peace,
Eric
