Lace up

“Enlightenment isn’t a point where everything stops and you’ve made it, forever surrounded by a halo of bliss. It is something alive, something that pushes you on every day, whether you are a Daigyoman Ajari on Mount Hiei or a data-management assistant in an office in Hounslow. Something deep inside us wants to know that place, to find it again, to return to it. And for some of us, it means lacing up our shoes and heading out for another run.” – a Marathon Monk of Mt. Hiei

Dreams

[Space]
a boy has the right to dream
there are endless possibilities stretched out before him
(You have to trust in your own power)
(What ever happens for now on you stand firm and face your destiny without fear but with courage)
what awaits him down the path he will
then have to choose
(no one’s going to give you a map you’ve got to walk your own path)
(children leave their homes in search of this quest)
(what is thy desire?)
as they search they are always asking
questions: What’s out there? what’s waiting for me?
(why was i made? who made me?
and what did they make me for?)
(are you gonna go up into space with your
old man or not?)
(maybe i’ll never get over this)
(i’ve lived my life following my dreams
and i don’t have any regrets)
(you’re gonna just keep running away?
just keep running away?
i’m not running)
believe in yourself and create your own destiny. don’t fear failure
