Run!

I started running again yesterday. I continued the trend this morning. Truthfully, neither run was more than a half mile, nor was the timing close to my personal best, but to complete the exercise and run back down the stairs into my apartment, past my roommate engaged in virtual recreation, through a kitchen filled with empty snack bags and stale pasta, into my own room, feeling my heart race, and my breaths escape me. Did I feel awake and stimulated?

After years of existing in smoke filled rooms and fits of pseudo-euphoric laughter, I have finally squelched the desire to turn off, shut down and stretch out.
The adventure is returning to my bloodstream, and arousing my spasmodic senses. With so many distractions to keep us comfortable in our cocoons of unconscious complacency, it is refreshing to traverse the marketplace without staring into shop windows or checking out the beautiful women plastered tall on exalted billboards.

To let the ephemera rush by you, and solely soak the air around you, and the ground underneath your feet.
