NAPOWRIMO 2013 #29


HEADING HOME


http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=cfiE_5O9Dn0


Coming to the conclusion
Illusion, reality
Normality returning

Learning from the beginning
Winning is not important
Oughtn't be a distraction

Satisfaction is derived
(Not contrived) from taking part

Heart and soul, body and mind
Find their own way to express
Less or more, it makes no odds

Nods of approval follow
Swallow hard... Soon be over...!

  1. Winning may not be important, but many of us still try to win anyway. Why is that?

  7. What is that they say about the runner who subconsciously slows down when he sees the finish line ahead? But, yes, you are right and there is a deep satisfaction to have gotten this far. It's been a lot of things, but better because you have been here each and every morning. Thank you, Stan,
