I Love Running

At Night.

By: AlmostAristotle
Written on March 12th, 2011
I love running, I have incredible stamina, I run quite quickly across beautiful open countryside, my stride is long and easy I seem to float across the ground on and on I run, mile after mile never tiring,
I feel as though I could run for ever and never tire, the freedom I feel as I speed along is ecstatic, I have no destination I run simply for the joy and elation that I feel.
Then I wake, my wheelchair is still beside my bed and I am still Paralysed.
But hey that was a LOVELY dream :)

    You know, I read this and couldn't help think that you DO run. Not with your legs but with you mind, in your writing and in your actions. Look at all the beauty you create with your gardening. Some folks run with their legs but they never seem to really get anywhere in their lives or thoughts. You're the opposite. You're legs are still but your mind and heart run like the wind, even in your dreams... You get to really AWESOME places. So I suppose in some ways...You're wayyy faster than many. *hugs*

    Yes foolish the old brain still remembers the real feeling of running which I did love before becoming a Paraplegic.
