My mistress
My friend
My intimate confidante
My mentor
My trainer
My tireless companion
My muse
My lover
My physician
My partner in crime.
When I turn my back on her
And spend all of my time on other pursuits
Even profitable and important tasks
Before long
I feel sickly and weak
A shadow of the person
A shadow of the person
Who walks in my shoes
When I am at my best.
But
When I spend more time with her
Sweating and breathing
When I am at my best.
But
When I spend more time with her
Sweating and breathing
Slicing through the wind
As she matches my pace, stride for stride,
I feel strong
I feel strong
I feel alive
I worry less and
Think more clearly
Love more expressively
And savor all of the blessings of life
With a calm soul
And abundant vitality.
