Physical Spiritual
I run to exercise my physical
And meditate to tone my spiritual.
I run on hills, paths and beaches,
Meditating there too, but usually seated.
I run and see new faces, places
And meditate enjoying inner races.
I run with friends and sometimes alone
And meditate with bliss, reaped and sown.
I run for a time and distance goal
And meditate for the destination of my soul.
Running has become an integral part of my spiritual life. I am not at all fast but do credit any of results to my meditation life. To date I have run over 10 marathons, 3 Ultra marathons (47 Mile Race in New York), 3 12 Hour Walks and one 6 Day Race at 24. I am part of the The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in Christchurch.
