Run

I love to run.

and when I run the world changes...

I detach myself from the environment...

I become a soulless being...existing only to push the limits of my physical form...

Words,noises...people...all become invisible...all cease to exist...

and the vivid percussive rhythm of my heart...is the only sound I can perceive in my being...

It's like being in a trance...some kind of surreal tribal dance where the dancers are lifted from the mire of reality and elevated into a higher plane of consciousness...guided by the innate natural rhythm of the human body...The adrenalin bestows us with winged sandals that allow us to fly and touch the stars...

You don't need opiates or Mandragora to pave the way to pure euphoria...you only need to focus on your destination and forget the present reality...

Running offers a form of catharsis...your worries and fears...doubts and insecurities all purged...all erased...and all the pent-up frustration...the negative energies are immediately released and expended...exorcised like legions of fleeing demons...

when i start...i don't want to stop...i want to go on and on...until the world whirls all around me in a frantic dervish...

until I forget who I am.

until I forget what I have to lose.

until I forget what it is like in the darkness.
