God has entrusted me with myself. ~Epictetus
Somebody I follow on Twitter inspired me to write this - but more importantly, to share it.
The longer I run, the more I am willing to let catch up with me;
The more ground I cover, the less the race means.
The further from fun, the more like unadulterated bliss it will be;
The less it is fantasy, the more surreal it feels.
Reckless is cautious; and down somehow becomes up.
The answers turn obvious, when you learn to fill your own cup.
The years become welcome, when growth proves itself boundless;
The urge to control dissipates, though you paint you your own canvas.
The noise of urgency succumbs, to a love that is soundless.
And self becomes all you hear, when age finally overcomes brashness.
