Hi fellow runner! running makes me feel so strong, both physically and spiritually. I smoked a pack and a half a day for over 30 years before I quit, so the fact that i do this - can run 4 miles like its nothing... a miracle.
For recovery stuff I listen to:
The Maker (by daniel lanois) - has the following lines:
Have you seen the homeless daughters
standing there with broken wings?
I have seen the flaming souls,
there, over east of eden,
I'm not a stranger
in the eyes of the Maker.
this speaks to me big time since my daughter is the addict...
Then there is Ghost Dance (by Robbie Robertson)
its a song about the Indian nation, but has the following lines:
You don't stand a chance
against my prayers.
you don't stand a chance
against my love...
for me the 'You' is the disease of addiction....
Since I don't have my ipod with me (I'm at work) I can't think of the many others I listen to for inspiration when I run.
take care and good runnning,
Ellen (sleepygoat)
