It feels like the feet are what makes the world spin. The rhythm of it aligns the heart, the sky, the head, and town. There is no other way to do that. None." Wow, this quote is powerful. It captures the real thing as close as anything I've read. I would send this on to Runner's World for publication. Pk “There is nothing like running.

Also, your 1, your 3, and that pesky 2 about the lazy. Thinking it makes me more and more and more slow at doing whatever it is that I think I'm being lazy at.

When I was growing up (and even when I was grown up) and people would ask me what I wanted to do and I would reply, "Play". Then they would look at me dismayed or disapprovingly. Why would I want to waste my time playing? I don't see it that way. For me, playing is living. Working are the moments lost when I could have looking at the sky, or fishing with a friend (even though neither of us really like to fish), or having deep conversation over coffee and cheesecake outside under the stars. As I like to say, "Work causes us to miss the nice things in life". Of course, other people don't see it that way. The saddest comment I ever received about my not wanting to work was, "What would you do? There is only so much TV you can watch." I agree, playing is much better than not playing.

I read the Four Agreements with some good girlfriends and one of the agreements is to have impecible speech. It is hard, but the world is a tad better when I have those moments of impecable speech. How do you spell impeccable? This is hard to do. I read the Four Agreements with some good girlfriends and one of the agreements is to have impecible
