But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life. ~Alan Ball

In running, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you are relative to anyone else. You set your own pace and you measure your own progress.
