running for healing

Running for healing..

the steps on the earth, rythmic, consistent, conectivue
remind me that i am earth.
i am this pulse that i can creating with my strides
thud, thud, thud....

i am the pulse of all things. my movement reverberates into the earth.
as i continue, keeping steady.
i breathe into my stagnation, releasing..
allowing the earth, wind, fire, water... to clear out that which is no longer serving me.
to create space, to invite movement, breathe..
clean air, water, soil.

i imagine breaking away from the chains of my demons..
being pulled towards the divine light.
my shoulders drop, my heart leads.
i breathe.
and just as a sycamore being freed from the grip of a strangling grape vine,
i am breaking free from the gripping, pulling, tearing, and gnawing of these unsupportive forces.

i am not running away. i am running towards.
towards light, freedom, love, divinity.
my feet carry me forward, just as they always have.
but this time, my heart takes the lead.

i listen to my body. allowing myself to take a break when i need it.
breaking down my old programmings -- push yourself to your limits.
i allow my body, heart, and mind the space they need to communicate.
because, what am i training for?
i used to train for sport, competition.. fierce fire.
now, i am training my mind to listen to my body.

i am training my heart to heal itself.
