2. Running: Soul Medicine
Take off at the end of your street and never come back. Pic: Paradisio Publishing
A skedaddle and a leap from a 10,000 storey building into whatever is out there.
Serenity. A definite knowledge that everything, always, is going to be alright.
And, the thrill, nothing behind you, zero in front, only this: one foot after another, the world reducing, expanding, a big-dipper for the soul.
I mean, have you…
Ever felt like the skies rush past and the earth is way below?
And music is all around, kaleidescoping - in your ears, pounding through your infinite hearts, electric guitars, house music piano notes, orchestras cascading?
That your senses are a new thing that can take you anywhere?
This is running - this is 9Ks, every day, my hit, release.
Narcotic.
5am, autumn, winter, spring, summer, the earth revolving into the new day, when no one is awake, the lanes silent, clouds a white decoration overhead. The countless morns brewing a jug of black coffee, pouring and downing a cup as i edit a novel, poem, short story, as a record plays on a Technic 1200, the streets outside awaiting.
Awaiting you stepping onto them; whatever is trying to kill you this day about to be killed.
As you live.
Do this. Go running.
3. Its all art, baby
