One foot following the other. Every step taking me further away from the place I want to be. A minute and 13 seconds pass and I'm back where I started. I still continue, egging myself that its the last one. Somewhere along the path a new resolve is made, "3 more to go"!
My breathing becomes heavy with every step I take. I feel my memory failing me as I can't remember which round I'm on. Yes its still the 2nd and yet the body aches like its been traveling for weeks. The path also shows no signs of slowing down. When will it end...
A double click on the iPod controls, changes the track. A continued activity till I find a track with a beat to relate with the steady and yet laborious breathing that accompanies every step. At last I find one that will make do. Will have to sort my music.
I continue to gather my thoughts which are in disarray but the resolve is still strong to complete one task at a time. The lack of clarity is getting to me. The loneliness is upon me, and yet I continue. Where is this resolve coming from.
Sweat beads slowly running from my brow down across my face. The warmth of the evening sun as it sets beyond the walls, and the constant movement brings a wave of delight. The breathing continues struggling to find the next source of breath. With my jaw clenched tightly shut, I'm forcing the air in and out through my nose. Is it away to show control?
The final stretch looms just ahead. The air seems lighter, and the my breathing is getting more steady. Even the shadows of the trees dancing across the field, playing its very own game with the setting sun seems to be in harmony with my feelings. The loss of clarity with random thoughts, seems like a distant memory. And then suddenly its upon me, but I continue on as the momentum carries me forward into time, where I finally come to rest.....
