Pace Is The Trick

Don’t run, don’t look back, just walk away. Slowly, focused, not on what was lost or what wake of the past slowly dissipates behind you. Yes, it treated you well and you’d be a fool to forget it, but the cavernous depths of time long gone are no place for you to reside. Life awaits you, perhaps in the rolling hills, or upon the toiling seas. Fear not the twinges of doubt, embrace them and carry on. Soak up feelings, even the ones you dislike, they make the end result much more fulfilling. Don’t run, this is most important, time is the enemy and speed is its’ ally. Never let it decide your pace, slow down, breathe. In your journey you may find that such simplistic, involuntary actions, get taken for granted. Air is your friend. Remind yourself of this often, consciously breath deeply. Capture it briefly, not too long, as it is your friend and should be treated as such by not being made prisoner within your lungs. Release. Relax. Refresh. Open up your heart, pull all you can in, it is the only place time cannot touch. Love and live with all that you are, go forth and blaze your trail of burning passion, even when the trail seems thick and muddy. The sheer miracle and beauty of life and all that surrounds you ought to spark enough desire to keep trudging through. The path may be steep, your legs may ache, your mind may feel like giving up and though the view at the top will be breathtaking. Don’t run.
