Some Different Ways Of Looking At The Very Same Thing

From one step - the entire world curves to meet us. In a single breath we breathe the cosmos. There is no alone. Running reminds us of our connection.

Seen again:

The universe extends itself to experience a moment as our breath and the patch of earth that greets our steps. That is our connection.

~

And seen once more:

There is only the universe - and infinite ways for it to experience itself.

There is no separation.

So is this useful for running? Maybe. If we know that the infinite has channeled itself into a finite piece of earth to experience a single step - we may take that step with just a little more reverence. Perhaps if we realized that we have brought the very fabric of the universe against our lips in a kiss of breath - we would breathe our love into the world. In the very least we may find that we belong within the world. And run just a little longer.

Peace,
