My morning Run
For the past decade I’ve been going for a run, at twilight, to a nearby jogging track in my area. I’ve always laughed at the absurdity that I drive 1.5 km to the jogging track, just to run 5km in 40mins, and drive back. You may question, why don’t I just run on the road instead? Dirt track running is much healthier for the knees and joints than running on tarmac or pavement. It’s also safer and less-polluted.
As I drive to the track, the sun is rising and I witness the magical transition from night into day; as if by a snap of His fingers; just like that!
The profound impact of observations starts here.
Fortunately, the railings surrounding the track are covered with fragrant flowering plants, readily greeting the same folk that show up at 0530, (or before) to walk or run.
It makes the run pleasant and draws one straight back in to the present every time ones mind wonders hither tither. The birds have just woken up and flitter about tweeting, perched on the surrounding tress and bushes.
The crows, oh those territorial crows, caw caw cawing, keep you vigilant as they protect their young up in the trees by swooping down and attacking your head. A moment of fright runs through your body.
The stray cats and kittens lie lazily alongside the track, waiting for a free snack.
So much life, ready to start their routines as fellow walkers and joggers pass each other by.
I’m so lucky to be immersed in nature, running, heart beating, sweating, alive, using all my senses at once to witness man and nature working side by side. It’s a whole community of flora, fauna, people, in the middle of urban suburbia, reminding you that you aren’t the sole beings on this planet.
Humans don’t own the Earth.
