All dressed in yoga paints, a light comfortable shirt, and okay running shoes - I head to the park to give the old knees a test run. The park was quiet, beautiful, waiting... just for me! So I begin again on this solo journey... determined to complete this small goal. A bit cloudy, slightly cool, perfect for a jog! Halfway thru my mission the sky falls! I mean its raining buckets and Im at the middle marker. Turn back, or press forward? Turn back, or press forward? So I press forward... transcending! Im taken back to the only other times (2) in my life where I took up running. I lived in Seattle, where if you waited till it stopped raining to run, you would never run! During those times I could run forever! It somehow comforted and freed me! Today was no exception! So the rain is pouring and Im suddenly in Seattle! The rain is pouring and I dont know if I should laugh, be angry or cry? Are those tears? So I ran! And I ran! And each time I arrived at a rain puddle I danced! I mean I ran thru it, circled back around and hopped thru it! Got to the next one and pop locked, moon walked thru it with the abandonment of a small child! By the time I had finished, I was soaked down to my knickers, but JOY was on my face! LoL Thank you God for peace! For a quiet, abandoned park! For rain and rain puddles! And for the washing of tears, fears, limitations, and the freeing of spirit in the now!
