A Series of Mundane Steps

What to write?  What to write?  What to write?  The words kept running through my mind in a steady cadence with my feet.  I was getting stressed because nothing was coming to me.  Well, all sorts of things were coming to me - but nothing I considered "blog-worthy."  Nothing insightful.  Nothing clever or catchy.

Maybe that's what life's like.  It's made up of a series of mundane moments, most of which don't have any real "weight" to them.  You can't force a moment to be meaningful beyond what it is.  It just is.

That's what I like about running.  You put one foot in front of the other, over and over.  Some steps are hard.  Some are easy.  Some make you cry out in pain.  Some make you cry out in joy.  Some steps are weightless.  Some have profound meaning.  You look back at the end, though, and see what all those individual steps created, and think, "it was worth it."

  1. blogging and running are very much the same in that regard :) But this was very profound, friend!

  2. thanks! It didn't start out that way, but by the time I finished, that's what I came up with.
