—-<§>—-
morning light
cuts the water
into sterling planes
the course waits
without mercy—
…simple shapes
…impossible distances
salt wind off the pacific
insistent
as if to push me inland—
but the line runs forward—
…over stone
…timber
…and air
I know the way
I know the challenge—
we both do
head up
eyes scanning ahead—
striding forward
I follow it
each movement
an intuitive decision
no room for doubt—
no room for hesitation
hands grasp cold surface
toes secure traction
legs coil and release
timing holds everything together
below
the tide pounds steady
but I am movement—
…again
…again
…still again
fatigue gathers
shoulders tighten
breath rages
edges blur
distance stretches
still
I commit—
over and over
I commit
because somewhere
between fear and flow
there is a narrow crossing—
and I am on it
hands sting
calves burn
lungs scrape for air
yet rhythm builds
a fragile thread
of certainty
keeps my momentum—
…fast
…forward
…fearless
when finally I stop
the world keeps surging—
but inside
something has centered
coming to rest — deeply
not victory
but alignment
peace
