Half way through the book Born to Run: a Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall I find this quote by Jenn Shelton an ultramarathoner, "When I'm out on a long run, the only thing in life that matters is finishing the run. For once, my brain isn't going blebblebbleh all the time. Everything quiets down, and the only thing going is pure flow. It's just me and the movement and the motion."
Now that is what I'm trying to spread the word about too. When you find your bliss, your passion, everything totally gets quiet. You are lost in the process, time is meaningless. Whether your bliss is making art, doing asana practice, baking bread, writing the next great novel, or rocking your baby to sleep,
you'll know it when you're there. It's unmistakably peaceful.
namaste.
