I had at least five miles a day on weekdays and took a break on the weekends. That was the amount of exercise I got all the time, I didn't do much else in that area but running constantly. I have no idea why it gave me such calm and such joy whenever I did run and run. I loved running all the time. It felt great.

My heart felt lighter and excellent, it got used to the the speed which it had to pump when I ran really fast for miles and miles. Then it got stronger and the constant breathing I had to do, well that got much easier to do. I ran at the perfect amount that felt really good. Everything felt really good. I love life.

There were large crowds on both sides of the road, the sun falling to sleep in the sky and there were some clouds in the sky. The air was warm and dry. The road ahead had tons of twists and turns, there were a bunch of other people standing behind the starting line with me. I bounched around on one foot then the other, sort of dancing in one spot, everyone had some kind of special stance they were doing but I was just standing. My fellow racers looked at me with varying surprised expressions. When the shot gun went off they all zoomed by, I stood there for a moment or two taking in the deepest inhale I ever inhaled and then I zoomed slowly jogged. When people were quiting all around me or slowing because their breath was caught and they were tired, I was in behind but when I got the chance a few miles near the finish line I used all my remaining energy to zip past the person in first and I jumped gleefully into the ribbon! My family and friends caught me and started tossing me up and down. I was in heaven at that moment.

The day was cloudy, the ground wet and the air just a tad chilly. I whipped on my raincoat before going outside in case the sky decided to drench me without my consent, I put on my running dirty running shoes that I often kept hidden from my mother so she wouldn't throw them away, I often used these shoes only for rainy days and then I closed and locked the house door. I ran from my house to the street lights in a second or two, when the cars were few I zipped across the road, I had to do that a few times on my way to the mall. I zipped to that mall and when I got that my feet did convulsions up and down! I looked at the timer watch on my wrist and hugged myself after dancing round and round.
I said then, "I beat my last time! This is so good! I beat myself again! Ha, ha!" The run home was far more liesurely and comfortable. After I got to my parents' house a few days later after the stay, Al came up in the limo so I went on to the next person I was going to visit, I brought my parents' along for the ride because they would want to see this too. I might have to stop in a village somewhere and do some running if the ride was too long.

A bug was betwixt my nustrils vexing me steadily just on the tip of my nose, my eyelids twitched and it didn't budge. I sat down cross legged with tensed finger tips together on each knee. Early in the morning, under the roof on the mountain peek, where I sat on the cold stone and to make it even worse in the cherry tree outside the little room the birds wouldn't stop singing. I decided that I didn't like that I figuratively hit a tree, it took great endurance to focus all my energy on my breath. Eventually vexation turned to boredom. The bug whatever it was just wouldn't leave the tip of my nose! I left the front of my left hand to lift it and it hovered slowly over my nose. The bug to my surprise still wouldn't leave my nose in fear. I sighed when I remembered what my teacher said about killing. I flexed my knuckles and then laid my hand in its previous position. I deeply breathed, focused steadily and it took great stamina not to give it and just stop meditating and do something else or kill the bug on my nose. After what seemed like forever, time sped up and the tension left my fingers. Once I sighed a deep sigh of relaxation my eyes opened and the bug left my nose. I blinked. Odd. I shrugged and fell back on the stone floor and fell into a deep sleep.

I climb the rope ladder to the tiny wooden platform, the crowd is silent, all holding their breath at once.
My gold sequinned leotard feels a little itchy, so I pull a little on the leg , instant relief. I bend over and can feel the heat of the spotlight on my right shoilder. The man in charge of the spotlights is a genius, he has them at the exact right angle, so my vision is clear. I place some chalk dust in my palms...that subtle smell reminds me of all those hours practising. I look through the darkness and see my partner on the other wooden platform, seems he is miles away. I take hold of the trapeze in front of me. I push it a little and it sets in motion. I sense the anticipation of the crowd, This tells me the other trapeze is also in motion. My bones, my very sinews know whats coming next. I take hold of the trapeze with both hands and swing through the air. Forward, back, forward, and then- this is it- I let go and fly thru the air for an etenity, holding on to nothing but my knowing that my partner has let go of his trapeze for me to twist, turn, reach, catch and land on the wooden platfom on the opposite side.
Electric silence,then an uproar of applause. I take my bow, the spotlight moves away and I slink back into the velvet magic of the night

It's the afternoon & I'm at the beach. It's totally beautiful, 82 degrees & sunny. There's a slight breeze that feels so good as it hits my skin. I love digging my toes into the sand. I love the smell of the salty air & the roar of the ocean waves. I am so relaxed, feeling not a care in the world. I could just close my eyes & take a nap...

The forest is thick, the sounds I hear are of the crickets noisily singing their own little tunes sort of peacefully insinc and perhaps too the complete darkness makes me even more comfortable. I am lying here in my clothes, my house and doors locked and house kept safe with all my important thing miles away. I am here with the only important things on clothes coverings and a key around my neck. In a little spot beneath the thicket of branches I lay and at the tops of the trees there is just enough space to see by them, a star or two. After a while I close my eyes and I feel utter relaxation in all my bones and all my muscles. I feel completely and utterly safe here. I feel safe in the darkness, safe, secure and somehow deep within my gut I know it to be true. And then I fall asleep waking up hours afterward, alone with only the soft chirping of birds to wake me and I get up or sit up to gleefully smile

It's dark out again and I am out at night like before, deep in the city park wood, the area park would, a thicket of trees all around me with only a few little bits of dirt path so I can somehow find my way through the darkness. I feel relief, excellence and relaxation. Maybe it was the depth of the several inhals I took on my nightly walk there all alone, or just the explicit peace I felt and safety. The obvious fact is that I am invicible and I don't waste times on worrying. It just felt so good to be here. So good to just chill and relax.
