Sometimes you miss things when you are running. Other times you discover them or see them more clearly.
No missteps.
Because that can change the meaning entirely; of course, only if you realize it. Otherwise it's like telling a killer joke to a foreign speaking audience.
There is a fine line between getting caught up in a misstep and becoming the focal point. It can be sort of comical in a Woody Allen meets Kafka sort of way.
Some cracks you'll find filled while some continue to widen. Nothing poignant there, just a simple observation.
Decisions are made and revoked, even as the dust is still settling. Something always overriding the reason that brought in that decision, pushing you back to square one. But not before you hear the music play and notice the lights dim. Again. And you hang your head.
No missteps.
The fear can paralyze you. So you push forward, more determined than before, but no idea which direction you are heading. Or you drift quietly, no more certain than before.
Some day, I must stop running. Or is that part of what makes life interesting?
No missteps. Too much hangs in the balance.

i bring you love. not luck, because i don't think you need it. :)
Don't think of what hangs in the balance, and trust your instincts...
Yes, it's what makes life interesting....if you stop running, life will catch up with you. :)
Damn, this is deep.
Transience - Love always overrides luck, thank you! =)
Anne - Some of my instincts could get me thrown in jail. Oh well, it would be a new experience... =)
Stacy - Catching up with me? Ick. Note to self: buy new running shoes!
AbNorMal - Welcome to the dusty corners of my thought processing center.
do you run to, from, or just run? me, i do a bit of all, each time. although i find it easier to drive.
I like this philosophical side of you.
You're right. Fear is always trying to paralyze you. The only misstep, though, is to stop progressing. Even if progressing means going back.
When I stop running, I start looking for issues that aren't there. I enjoy the pump of adrenaline - the balancing, the juggling. When it gets too much I have learned to just stop and get off the treadmill for a while. Great post.
Very interesting. Running is such a thinking persons sport.
nice - Ben O.
Macho Biscuit - I run, skip, and hop, to, from, around and over. Pretty much every time. Even though I'm conflicted, at least I'm consistent.
Jason - There's alot of this that goes on in my head. And you are right, progression is not omni-directional; sometimes it means alot of detours.
Tammy - That's a good point; it could lead to seeking out imagined issues. Now that gives me something new to ponder!
Ben - It does get interesting, I'll agree there. Sometimes I try to not be a thinking person - it's easier.
Running to stand still.
John - Maybe that's what it all comes down to. And, is that what I really want?
