    This poem has led me out of some dark corners many times . . . FULLY ALIVE I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom, and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit. (Dawna Markova)

      That was very nice, Leslie, thank you, and your last race and race report gave a glimpse that you are living true to these words. No more dark corners from here on for you, deal?

              The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. - Martin Luther King, Jr. And btb - Deal. No more dark corners. Running has been a salvation. And as the keychain that I got from One More Mile says: "Running is cheaper than therapy." Smile

                Don't Try to See Through Distances Keep walking, though there's no place to get to. Don't try to see through the distances. That's not for human beings. Move within, but don't move the way fear makes you move. -Rumi [I substitute "running" for walking.]

                    Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it. (Mother Teresa)

                        Cindy - I like that one. I'm gonna print it and put on my "quotes" wall in my workout room.

                          Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. (Mark Twain)
