Running as mantra

Fine towering firs to the right, harried line separating saline from sand to the left. Rhythmic padding below, lids dropped down from above. What is looking is hemmed to the looked by a blood red sash.

Imminent immanence, or that big bastard ball of string again?

It tendril-ed my ankle 8 kms back; thought winding in and around itself, looking for cause and effect. Baleful perseveration gave the first knots before fractal-ing into *the* Not - the final negative bearing down on me and vacuuming the space between like so much forgotten seawall grit.

And then, silence.

Sound, feeling, breath and movement become not-two. The question of the big bastard giving chase dissolves. There is no resolution; it is simply fully and utterly irrelevant.

There is only This: Space between the footfall; moment before the breath; fine towering firs to the right, harried line separating saline from sand to the left. Rhythmic padding below, lids dropped down from above. What is looking is hemmed to the looked by a blood red sash.
Lavender, sandalwood, flashlight and Kerouac.
12 km barefoot, 60 mins. Seawall, sun, pushed to better performance by a faster colleague. Thanks Kyle!

Lifted

Supposed to be hardwired into the bad place this morning, but the neurotransmitting supply chain got sidetracked a for a bit.

Escalator broken and I shift to the right for the backup, sea-ed up to the top in the human snake of commuters. Wash of voices baptize me into the Space. Aural mosaic; hearing behind the hearing at no distance from the heard.

Down escalator now; observations and judgments like cottenlint buoyed up and away; sure to be breathed in and re-used in the endless samsaric wheel. Karma must be green with all the recycling going on. Clearly, none of this is net-new.

And into the street where the glowing knot is, maybe for the first time, recognized as being at no-distance from that which feels it.

Coincidence I was reading the Near and the Dear? Graced? Lifted?
