My best or most efficient running is that inspired by fear. Fear = Fast.
Running provides a momentary escape from the scary, unanswerable, confronting stuff of this world. Running is liberation of the body and mind, my entire psycho-physical being. The imagination loves a good run.
Running is a reality check. I cannot deny the actuality of me when my heart is audibly beating, sweat is free flowing and breath is rushing in and out.
Running is keeping up with a world racing toward its end.
Running is dancing because gentle and graceful somehow seems insufficient and even irrelevant.
Running is ritual. How else can chaos be countered?
Running is because I can. Not everyone can and mostly I forget this.
Running, running, running.
Question: Do you run? What is running for you?
