Running

the ghost of an injury haunted me today

ive had some pretty serious ones on my life. used to play soccer "competitively" 4x/week (always took it very seriously on the games) so im used to the feeling and consequences of having something in your body that is different from what makes it work properly

and today i didnt feel as powerful as other times when running, so i somehow had that ghost on my back. but i said hi to it. and took it as a reminder

to loose the body. to become free from tension. to use every step as a vehicle for releasing any stress that could be present inside it

and it helped

running has evolved into an extension of my meditation practice. each time that i discover that im lost in thought, i return to myself. to what is alive in that moment. to the sensations that i feel in my body. through the images that come through my awareness

thoughts are tempting, you know? and im on a moment on my life where the ideas that come to me are infinite

so i play to just let them go

and keep going
