On my last spiritual journey I didn’t become in tune with everything around me until I had finished a quarter of the trip. This time I feel very zen. From the get go I am aware.

I couldn’t help but enjoy the surrounding pines. When the blood began to flow the kinks slowly retreated. My limber body then switched to auto pilot. A small drop in energy signaled the end of my morning run. It signaled a need for me to fuel up.

My break from running meant that it was time to get back to work. Work meant returning emails, and playing around with social media...
