The Whole World is Waiting

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

One foot in front of the other.

Don’t stop. You can’t stop. You don’t need to stop. Just go. Just go forever.

One foot in front of the other. Woods close on both sides. Sounds of the organic nature underfoot adapting and growing.

Adapt.

Grow.

Run faster. Become stronger. Because you’re running and while you’re running nothing can touch you. Nothing.

Life – everywhere life. It trickles by like the watery tendrils of a slowly evaporating stream.

Run. Run faster and you won’t even get your feet wet. Run – because maybe if you run fast enough, everything else disappears and it’s just you. Just you and your feet connecting with the ground.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

One foot in front of the other, until the world is left behind, gasping for air. Until there’s nothing but a blur. Until gazing introspectivly is the only way to see.

Just run. Just go. Breathe. And never stop. Don’t stop. Because when you run, the whole world is waiting.
