There is a magic in the mountains that is unique. The stillness and rawness of the environment creates space within your mind. Your reality expands. My imagination and creativity expands with each deep lungful of unpolluted air.

From the second breath we ever took, we have been moving in the direction of the final one. Appreciating every inhale and exhale, I slow my breathing tempo to cherish it. My lifeline. Our lifeline.

I create when it feels good, I make moves when it feels good.
I trust in natures timing. I am focused in the direction I am going in. I am nature. The ebb and flow.
I am kind to myself, I nurture my soul, my spirit and my body.

Thinking about running as a slow, meditative practice provides more benefits than viewing it as a sport.

I run because I can!

On the outside it can appear turbulent, fierce, chaotic, with moments of calm. Beneath the surface, there is stillness, life, an underwater inner kingdom that is majestic and vast. A kingdom mostly undiscovered and unknown.

I ponder the idea … Can I find the extraordinary in the ordinary…no matter what the situation? Have you experienced those days when everything is average? Nothing is super fun, nor is it dramatically bad.
