Doubtful, spirit

Apple Watch and a building
Yesterday, a 12-noon massage. Walked five miles to get there. It’s only 1.5 miles away from home. Took the scenic route. Tried a few short running bursts. Torqued my left calf again. Thought a week’s running abstinence would be enough rest.

Doubtful my spirit will ever offer anything but cosmic love.

It hit me yesterday that if i never get to run again, i will accept it.

Love to run.

Grateful for six decades of it.

Last night the Universe reminded me of a story while i was thinking for the first time that odds are high running is over for me.

Universe: “jeff, remember when you went blind in your left eye a couple years ago?”

me: “Yes.”

Universe: “Same thing here.”

me, saying to myself: “If you never get to run again, you’ll be okay. You’ve had 60 years as a runner. Focus on what you’ve received, not what is missing. Nothing is missing. You are lucky to be alive. Enjoy every walking step you get to take. Walking is a huge blessing. Be amazingly grateful you can do that pain free.”

me, still talking to myself: “Thank you Universe (God, Creator, Energy, Cosmos, Light). i love you.”
