Sometimes I feel like I'm just fast enough to stay a half step ahead of it...
This thing we do, affirms life. It seeks challenges, adventures, the roads less travelled...
We all have our reasons. Our stories. Our raison d'etre.
I closed the Brierwood loop by my Dad's house in a 6:08 mile late Saturday afternoon. Later at dinner I confessed that I did not know why I had run the 5 miler so hard. But perhaps, that's the speed it took at that particular moment in time to stay a half step ahead of it...
I miss my Mom. I will never ever see her again. But I can stay ahead of that...
Regrets, confusion, sadness... life on life's terms. But I can stay ahead of all that too...
Happiness. Joy. Freedom. A sense of purpose and belonging. I can slow down for that if I choose to...
They bury us all in the end anyway right?
Bah. I can laugh and go for a run.
Peace to all.
