Who could have known that life was as brief as a breath? Or as strong as a gall force wind?
But we have tasted its soft passing, and are no longer on our feet! ~ BH
It seems reasonable that life should have plenty of "WOWS!" At the very least, a few "Wows!" every day if at all possible. As a distant friend says, and I paraphrase, "One 'Wow!' make the rest icing on the cake." The unpredictability of distance running accommodates this very well. When we run to combine our own humanity, and the passion of our life; past present & future; there are very few distance runs which do not leave the soul with a "Wow!" -- if our eyes are open! It is the "Wows" in life which take you off your feet!
I will try to share a brief of what can often be expected when you become a land runner... in many other regards, become an ultra distance runner at heart if not always in distance! The expression of distance running has always been about the combination of our own humanity... our design as endurance creatures if you will. We have always been this... Nomadic... travelers on foot... "Wow" seekers after little and big adventures. Holistic wellness in many aspects demands the "Wows!". This year land-running, I have had more 'Wows!' than runs with generous gatherings of items such as in the image above... "WOW!"
I thought it might serve well to briefly describe the beautiful curiosity... The American Indian would have made any renaissance rock sculpture proud! In and across the land I have been running, there are ancient treasures. It seems endless "Wow!" moments reserved for the resilient, dedicated heart. Little and large, multi-stone sculptures which do not perish and neither fade away! My, my, MY!
When you cross their path, you cross the distance of millennials... in brief, the pieces above date approximately 6000BC - 1000BC... WOW! Each one carried a healthy dose of honor and a beautiful charge of a connected life when it presented itself before me. What I find I save from the crush of the plow, and preserve the posterity of their memory. Little stone sculptures, otherwise known as "arrowheads"... the ONLY trace of a collected and beautiful race so far before us! Wow! Cheers all!
