Last night Neil and I went on a hike up the living room. On
the way down we started to jog; I found a rhythm with my breathing and my
movements that coincided with the natural flow of the trail as I went downhill.
For the first time in years I was able to achieve a full
stride. My back foot was still on the ground; my calf extended, tight,
flexed. My front leg was completely
extended forward like someone who is marching- my leg perpendicular to my
abdomen; which was vertical while my leg was horizontal. I was at my limit, my
full stretch. My body was completely extended. I was running as fast as I
could.
The movements of my body felt natural, they were elegant,
controlled, and so precise. It made me happy. The intense passion that
overwhelmed me in that moment leaves me in awe. For an instant I had a symbiosis
with nature; I felt connected to this world again.
