Loved my 10 mile run in Farmville today.
The drive there was absolutely gorgeous.
And the High Bridge Trail was as lovely as ever.
"The proper response to the world," wrote William Carlos Williams, "is applause." As I ran, the whole creation broke out in thunderous clapping. Emerson once spoke of the "magical benefits of air, landscape, and exercise on the mind." Running develops our physique and creates a harmony between body and spirit. On the trails, I give the Creator a standing ovation. The place you do this may vary from mine. But find that place, and you will discover the peace that passes all understanding.
After being gone from 7:30 to 3:00 today, it felt good to arrive back home. Be it ever so humble, there's no place like the farm.
