Wild and free
I am a woman who runs with her dog I am clothed and civilized I also belong to a tribe Of women Who run with the wolves We are naked and wild We accept all that we are Awakened to the wonder Of being alive We sweat We bleed Grow our hair Go bare feet…
Blissful surrender
We can try to make sense of our own path in life from many different perspectives. We are complex beings who live complex lives interwoven with each other’s and the other life forms all around us. Who can understand or make sense of it all? I think it is a worthwhile pursuit for each and…
Surrender
Learning to let go can take a lifetime, maybe more. Learning to flow with life and it’s rhythms can take a lifetime, maybe more.

The Zen of the Marathon
This last year I ran two marathons. The first was my first. It was in a city. Rotterdam to be specific. It was far and painful. The second was in Snowdonia. It was a completely different story. After all, Snowdonia is in North Wales: Wild and wonderful, magical and mystical, beautiful and brutal. It is…
A trip to the loo
This is just a bit of lightheartedness as I look back on the start of a new chapter in my running journey. It is the event that made me a marathon runner. Signs and wonders messages from above or within how would I navigate without at least a signpost now and then Voices of vicars…
