Through the Wormhole

I’ve described it as one of the most spiritual things I’ve ever done. The physicality of Running, the pouring out of all that is tangible – touched, seen, felt, heard – in other words exhaustion, brings me to a place of an open mind and spirit. It almost feels like going through a wormhole to another dimension, not euphoria that some describe as a runner’s high, but more of an awakening to things that rarely get noticed or ideas that rarely make the cut during daily tasks and responsibilities. I call it my Soul Speak. It’s a time of prayer and conversation with God and has impacted my life so much so that I wrote down many of these revelations in a book of the same name.

Trails are a great place to start this practice but equally enthralling for me has been running down city blocks or through neighborhoods. There is so much detail to take in, exploring what’s right around the corner … curiosity with a splash of wonder.

Cultivating good habits usually brings to mind an exercise regimen or a diet plan. I would add the practice of listening to your soul which doesn’t necessarily mean stillness and meditation. Expending energy frees up the mind and settles the spirit. Some times you just have to get away to be right where you are and Be Present.

Let It Go and Let It Flow 🙂
