For Joggers and Runners

[Greco]

Saturday afternoon I ran, not to exercise my body, but to run within
my love, and living memories of one of my Beloved sisters

running I have found to be a place, a quiet, and at times bittersweet
place to live my memories

while I'm not given to speaking about my personal life on these
so public forums tonight I have had to share my sadness, my fear
of loss

and while running I also celebrated my sister's life up to today

She is challenged by illness, but continues resilient as she has
been a power of example for us, her family.

So, I ran to stand tall, to stand by her, to stand in love for
her and all she is to us.

Running then this afternoon for me has been to expend my
fear, to find my courage to stand with my Beloved Sister
who has stood in strength through many challenges.

I don't know how far I ran this afternoon, it was more then
an hour a slow pace a pace of grace of feeling love full on

of running because I could for her for me for us.

Running can at times like these be a solace

a motion for finding courage when faced with fear

the motion of life of love and I am grateful

for running.
