Running

Real seduction takes time. In our age of instanteously gratified impulses, turbulances are an inconvience, when in fact, life should be tough. The real seduction is getting through that toughness to the real sweet moments which comes as the natural reward of struggle, of Will. Will is seductive when it becomes Sublime. Like a long distance run, when the High kicks in, and the running becomes natural, becomes a very part of experience, I feel a part of myself reach out to meet it and extend. Then, anything is possible. It is no longer putting one foot in front of the other, but the very flow of life to be running, the sensations of activity and the limits which were hypothetical things to work around become a game as it approaches nearer and nearer. Can I hold on just a little bit longer? Can I keep on going without the need to take a break to some disturbance or the other? The whole of focus and concentration become like an opponent in a fair game, who would smile at you if you managed to beat him.
