i didn't want to run today...

i didn't want to run today because I had a really great day, and I was feeling like maybe it would be more fun to just stay home... but I went to the gym with my mom anyway. Her art was rejected again, so her mood was very bad. Ask Theo about VIncent. Really great artists need.... support. So, I did my running, and about a mile into it, my attitude about it changed. My thoughts went along these lines. Nobody really wants to do chemo... either... and this whole project is about support. For this project I have to allow support to "possess" me,so that it can literally move me around. One foot in front of the other, repeat... vigorously. I believe that support can ooze and flow through us to wherever it is needed and sometimes that is tough when it would be nice to stay home and do something more relaxing after a big day. If you are willing, the support comes to you too. Even an abstract sense of interconnectedness provides a sense of support to me, which helps me provide it to other people, who provide it to other people, who provide it to other people. It can circle around to me or you, and off to wherever it needs to go again. Whoosh! And then running was good again. I actually picked up the pace a bit towards the end. I'll probably still be sore tomorrow, and my mom may still be cranky about her paintings being rejected, but I won't regret having done it either.
