Thinking tomorrow it's VFF and 8.5 km around Buntzen. See if I can do this trail running thing.
10 km barefoot, 52.5 minutes. 5 mins sub 5km. BQ =< 730
I guess even the throwaway creative tries are necessary to the grander project at work.

Congratulations Adam Lambert! I love PVR's.
Got a huge email out *and* cut a ten minute walk to the train to a 6 min run with laptop and gym bag. Literally 14 seconds to spare.

No room for the room

I spent a few minutes there, just now.
Where ideas swim in a spaceless room
Conundrums take off their shoes on the welcome mat
And dissolve
No room for them!

And yet the freedom
No objects, no space, no distance, no time
No tension

And now, no room for the room.
Back to the day.

5 km barefoot, 24:11. Yowsah.
Find me
In the space between the rungs
The valleys between the letters

That moment of in-breath
As the baton is raised to queue

Recognizeable Stranger

Find me
In the space between the rungs
The valleys between the letters

That moment of in-breath
As the baton is raised to queue

Resting, alert
Ready, but not waiting

And now
Riding the interior winds
From crown and root to heart

Flare, blossom, dissipate
Silence
Bliss

Again?

This meeting is not going well for some participants.
Fabric hardened to stain glass; conflagration
As the Light within returns to the Light without
I hitch, am and gone.

Trailer Trashed

Harms way, distanced by a sheet
Copper and moth wings release me
But its freedom by thread-count

In flight; cocooned by the protector
No-place
and everywhere

Fabric hardened to stain glass; conflagration

As the Light within returns to the Light without

I hitch, am and gone.

Innocence and angst
Grace and sadness
Gather in a great black starred ball
Fold inward
And explode in drifting dandelion seeds
Time to work out mental and physical angst, one foot at a time.

See it Now?

Behind you, there, it's dancing.
See it now?

Febrile glow
Arms outstretched under yours,
Propping you up in my eyes
And reaching for my throat center

It digests
The You I think I see
The 'I' I think I feel

Cavernous maw
Ever unsated

But the field it dances on
Is ever untouched
Blue blushes, and green, and the smell of bubble gum and Bottle Caps

Innocence and angst
Grace and sadness
Gather in a great black starred ball
Fold inward
And explode in drifting dandelion seeds

Which will populate the Karmic field
and Paint new scenes, like the one behind you.

See it now?
