Beyond Labels

Without labels - we are each a

brush of space against the

earth

traveling by means of our own

time and distance

~

There is really no need for validation - all sources of measurement and comparison and external have little meaning beyond the limits of our own imposed definition. We are larger than that. Greater. In our own immeasurable nature there is room for all to travel - and the realization that there is nowhere far to get to.

Peace,

Throw Away The Rule Book

The illusion is motion - as if there's somewhere existing beyond our presence and we must reach to get there. In truth there is no reach for we are constant in our presence. There is nowhere that we leave off and the world begins. It's all here. Now. And yet in form we play by the rule of the senses. We believe the illusion. Running is just a game. The object is to pretend to travel somewhere we are not. We can always cheat. Don't play by the rules. Simply remember that we are not limited by the senses - they exist as an experience within the unlimited truth of presence. We are formless awareness watching form appear as a runner in motion.

It's a rigged game.

Peace,

Eric

Everything I Know About Racing (and life)

Distance remains - borders of our start and finish exist only in the mind. The point is motion, stillness, and then motion once more.

There is no need for

complication.

~

When it's time to run - run. Listen to the body. Rest when needed. Walk. Relax the mind allowing thoughts to pass with little care. Be kind.

(eat, drink and tend to what's needed)

Peace,

Eric

Endlessness

Runners strive by nature - and yet aside from fixed objects -distance always remains immeasurable. It's our true nature that we really seek. And here it is found - not by any finish or the illusions end of a set time. It's the endlessness itself that holds our secrets.

Peace,

Aware

Aware - and nowhere else do

we reside.

~

This is all we need to know. Our presence is aware and all things and every thought simply pass through. Each step is an experience in awareness. Know this - and every step is our arrival.

Peace,

Eric

Imagine

Imagine - no difference between earth and step and the slow caress of one through the illusion of time and distance. And so it is. For in truth there is no singular existence - only awareness recognized or the moment left unnoticed. We decide our truth - and run from there.

Peace,

Eric

This Too

individual drops become the

rain of one existence

~

And so it is with no step being separate from another and greater still our stride connected to earth. In all things there is only - This. Running is the recognition that this too - this step and the ground that it's touching - are one in the endlessness of our existence.

Peace,

Eric
