Things That Shift



Reality shifts with every step. Our world is the belief held deepest at the moment. The gift of running is the insight found in the insular world of distance. We are confined to the extended realm of body - steps making miles that hold us briefly captive in thoughts of joy or pain depending on what the moment offers. Yet soon we find beneath shifting realities is an ever present witness to change. That's the insight. Something remains in calm awareness through miles and shifts of thought. That's our primordial mind that resides independent of constant flux. This is the center of response. It's our true reality. The more we again identify with this truth the less reactive to circumstances we will be. Running becomes a choice filled response to all that passes. And every choice will come with peace.

Peace,
Eric
