Step by step…

Sunday 27 March 2016

Okay.  So recap of today.  Woke up.  Ran a half marathon.  With Bridget. 

We talked about connections and the art of asking and steps along the path and choices. 

And we made connections and we kept running and we powered up the hill. 

And we passed trash and decomposing dogs and saw clouds resting majestically on rolling mountains above the deepening valley stretching below.

And we finished strong.

—we started together almost three months ago and the steps we took carried us this far. 

I literally wouldn’t have been there this weekend if it weren’t for the connections I have with Bridget and with Spyros. 

And I metaphorically and really wouldn’t be the person I am today and figuratively where I am today if it weren’t for the people I have connected with in my life.  Who have shared parts of the journey, steps along the path, no matter how big or small, far or short. 

We made it. 

We’re making it. 

We saw some really incredible and impressive ancient sights.  We added our steps to the countless who have walked, who have ran there before us.  And paved the way for more steps to follow.  Connect across the breadth of time spanning out around us.  Appreciate those steps.

We had another off-roading “adventure”. 

We saw more serene and magnificent shades of blue than you can find on the multitude of 5-shade, cardboard, paint color samples at your local Menards or Home Depot—more shades and with a depth richer than I ever dreamed existed in the Artist’s palette, and breathtaking views almost every direction we looked. 

We shared the journey together.
