Run Run Run said the pine tree's mom

Now that we have the internet... Our tour took us to way out there places and I found the urge to run. Maybe it was because we were constantly on the move, migrating in an overloaded vehicle, to a new destination daily. I got caught by this feeling to move forward and it came from seeing the dramatic shifts in landscape in a magnificent, humbling, ...holy continuous changing contour over the earth - feeling a part of that somehow and being taken by possibility. We started in California and when we hit Yosemite, I felt I needed to run beside these mountains - to be that small and that big at the same time. Then it was the deserts, around the rim of the Grand Canyon (like whoah - shouting into the canyon at 7 am on a deserted path is surreal)...animal, Rocky Mountain National Park, and oddly beside golf courses in Denver. It's been so hot that waking up at 7 and going running has become my routine (except today, my alarm didn't go off so I decided to write in the blog now that I can!). To start off thankful for my space in the world and needing to move forward in it has become my practice. I'm still nursing my ankle a little bit and oh so close to my running goal this summer. Now juggling...that's another thing. Haven't found much inspiration there.... JJ
