Gamushara


Last fall I was lucky enough to attend a performance of Yamato, the drummers of Japan.
Their description of one of their pieces, seems quite apropos for tomorrow's 60k challenge:

Gamushara

"Gamushara" means
to be completely absorbed by the pursuit of one goal,
without thinking about what's going to happen next.

First, let me ask you this:

Are you embracing a dream?
Do you have a vision of the future?

Once you've found it,
try not to think about it too much,
just go off in the direction of that purpose,
completely in the moment.

It's all about "ecstatic enthusiasm"

-who cares if you are scorned as a fool
or accused of being captured by the whims of youth?

Start running!

Someone once said...

"There is no road ahead of me,
only trails behind."

Don't be scared!

Keep running!

Go for "Gamushara"!
