Get ready—Microsoft Windows Vista is just around the corner to finally make your life complete. Now, the truth be told, I am a Mac user. But this is not an opportunity for me to bask the competition—after all, as all Mac users now, to call Windows competition would be to over rate it ;-)
Vista did get me thinking on this day of promises to our selves and others, this day of resolutions and turned leaves, about what it is, exactly, that we are intending to do.
Are we really looking to upgrade? To somehow create a new version of who we are? Finally iron out the bugs, (in)security issues, and crashes we experience by re-creating ourselves? A new me and you, version 2.0? A new me and you, Vista?
The fact is, there is no new me or new you. That's the good news!
In fact, it is all the forceful creating of who we think we need to be that causes those internal system crashes (read anger, frustration, disappointment, depression, etc). We add on so many "peripherals" that we hamper the finely tuned, intuitive, creative, divinely-guided beings that we naturally are.
So today, I offer you—and me—a different strategy. Instead of trying to create a "better" you, do all you can to connect with the divine being that you are already. I am guessing that none of us can improve on our Creator's (pick your creator of choice) design.
As you run today, spend your time listening. To the cadence of your feet as they carry you forward. To the strong current of your heart as it feeds you. To the place inside you that has known your purpose in this life from the moment you appeared on this earth.
Remember, you are not the artist but the brush. (I know, I'm maxing out on metaphors today.) It is your greatest responsibility to allow what is to be created through you to find it's way through and out of you. Listen, listen, listen.
Experience the joy that comes beyond running. That comes from being run.
